Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Open the canned beans and drain the liquid. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine the Beans

    Add the drained beans to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic.

  4. 4

    Season and Simmer

    Season the beans with salt, pepper, and any additional spices to taste. Add a bit of water if the mixture is too thick. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
