I've been experimenting with keeping things very simple and trying to coax all the flavor I can from a very minimalist set of ingredients. It's been less clean up and more flavor overall.

This is just a saute of red beans and veg. Every ingredient stands on its own and shines.

1/2 a yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed, chopped
1 poblano, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
1 can red beans, liquid included
1/3 cup white wine
2 tsps soy sauce
3 tbls olive oil
1 tsp celery seed
2 tsps oregano
2 tsps salt
1 tsp black pepper

Saute the onions in the oil until translucent. Add peppers and garlic. Saute 5 more minutes. Deglaze with wine. Cook off wine for 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer until reduced by 1/3.
