This great one pot meal was inspired by our friends Walt and Stephen. They were talking about quick meals they like to make and both mentioned mixing canned fire roasted tomatoes and black beans and eating it as is. It sounded good, but I knew it could be better. So, I added in some onions, garlic, wine and soy sauce. Soy sauce is actually a very recent addition to the recipe. As good as it was before, I always thought it needed a little more depth of flavor, umami if you will. Soy sauce was just what it needed. If you don’t have fire roasted tomatoes, a can of regular diced tomatoes works great too. This recipe can be easily adjusted to your own personal tastes – if you want it hot, add cayenne, if you want more zing, try some oregano. This is great on it’s own, but works
