Preparation

Step 1
To make spice mix: grind chilies in a mortar and pestle and mix according to taste with salt, cayenne and paprika. (To make a medium-hot mix, combine about 2 tablespoons each powdered anchos and moritas, 1 tablespoon each paprika and salt and ½ teaspoon each powdered habeneros and cayenne.) Store in a saltshaker.
Step 2
To make goop: heat the oil in a 4-quart dutch oven over medium-high heat and sauté onions until translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in about 1 tablespoon spice mix and cook 1 minute. Stir in bell peppers, okra, mushrooms and soybeans, cover and cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Stir into the goop. Cover and simmer about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
Step 4
Stir in asparagus, cover and cook about 5 minutes longer. Serve with mashed potatoes.
