        Was looking for the inclusion of garlic or it was about to be straight to the gulag. Seriously though that looks bomb as fuck.

        I would never think to use herbs like oregano and thyme with chili and cumin. I’ll have to try breaking convention more often. Sounds delicious

          In the Caribbean, particularly Trinidad and Jamaica, thyme is pretty much always paired with cumin or curry powder. The thyme is either added separately or as part of an herb paste. It rounds out strong spices very well imo.

          Oregano and cumin is a common combo in many Latin countries. Cuban black beans is great with both.

            Good to know! I don't know much about Caribbean or Latin cooking, haven't made my way to that part of the culinary world yet (save for a trip to Mexico City a while back which blew my mind from a foodie perspective). I have been learning a bit about Cajun more recently, maybe once I've gotten a handle on gumbo and dirty rice it would be a logical next step to look south. I spend a fair bit of time in Toronto (or was when travel was a thing) where there's a big Caribbean/West Indian community, and the food you get from the little hole in the wall Caribbean restaurants is fucked up good.
