Black Eye Gravy (Easy Version)

As good as Red Eye Gravy is, and as essential as it is for Southern style Grits, some people can't eat it. Grease isn't tolerated by everybody, particularly in California. So, we have an alternative.

• A pot of Black Bean Soup.
• Coffee.

1. Take a pot of Black Bean Soup, drain it in a strainer, set the beans aside.
2. Pour the strained juice into a frying pan, heat it and let it simmer.
3. Add coffee, let it simmer some more.
4. Pour over yer grits.
