Pinto Beans

A good pinto bean experiment, I do believe.

1 bag of pinto beans (about $1.20 at the grocery store - serves 10)
1 can of tomato paste
some frozen jalapeño peppers from last summer
some indian chili peppers frozen from last summer :)
some "cowboy candy" sweet pickled Jalapeño paste
"7spice" powder I found in the cupboard
cumin seeds
a shallot
1 can of veggie broth

soak and cook the beans as per the instructions on the bag
I added a can of veggie broth to the cooking liquid.
When beans are done, drain and reserve cooking liquid

fry shallot with peppers, cumin seed, spices and add a little cooking liquid and tomato paste.  Make a little paste out of it, then add beans. Cook until flavors are blended and beans are a bit softer (30-40minutes)
