    104. What Are You Feeding Your Ancestors? In conversation with Caro Gomez

    Join us as we talk to the one and only Caro Gomez on the beauty that can come from the blending of cultures, the power of acknowledging our ancestors (the ones we like and the ones we’re not so proud of) and the joy of being a witch. Caro tells us about her family’s celebration of Dia De Los Muertos, tales of Maxímon, how we can connect with our ancestors in more ways than lighting a candle, her journey to accepting her not so popular ancestors, and her famous Sopa De Frijoles… see the recipe below ;). You can find Caro on instagram @carogomez_joywitch Caro’s FAMOUS SOPA DE FRIJOLES:As we step into day of the dead, I honour my ancestors through food. The one recipe that I’ve perfected through the years but not because I’ve followed “a recipe” I do it because it takes me back to ancestors I never met but through food I hear. And my mum taught me how to make this too. Although I’ve given it my own twist ;)I’ve added my own ways of making it yummy, including adding 100% raw joy witch cacao (it’s the one I produce, like literally putting my hands through the fermentation vats), and cinnamon and ancho chili pepper, plus other spices as they feel called. The recipe but not really…500g of red kidney beans, remove any bits of dirt, touch them, connect to them…they come from the land. Leave to soak over night. Don’t skip this step - they’re easier to digest and softer in your belly and cook better.Bring a big pot of water to boil… add:The beans - let them boil for about 30min then add…1 onion1 green pepper1 juicy big tomato2-3 whole cloves of garlic 40g ish of raw cacao (better of it’s not powdered, you want the block)Cinnamon 1-2 ancho chili pepper Rosemary, saltOther herbs (play, get into your inner kitchen witch)Optional: add diced pork shoulder (divine!) Required: play your favourite music and dance as you make this dish.Leave  to cook for about 3hrs. Keep an eye on the water level - add if it starts to &apos;run out&apos; ofwater.Serve with avocado, lime, salt to taste, and a dash of crème fraiche and fresh cilantro/ parsleyEnjoy!Tip: I love to then freeze half cup portions to have ready to accompany meals or have on its own :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and leave us some stars over on Spotify.

    92. Standing on Crumbling Ground

    The world is a chaotic and frightening place so we want to make sure the ground we stand on is solid and concrete, so it won’t crumble under our feet. But the fact of the matter is that the ground we stand on is always disintegrating, crumbling and changing. Nothing can really grow in concrete so we might as well get curious and figure out what we can grow in the ground we are on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and leave us some stars over on Spotify.
