1
Prepare the Beans
Rinse the dried beans under cold water and remove any debris. Soak the beans overnight in a large bowl filled with water.
2
Cook the Beans
Drain the soaked beans and place them in a pot. Add 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until beans are tender. Add salt during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
3
Sauté the Aromatics
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and black pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes.
4
Combine and Serve
Once the beans are cooked, drain them and add to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes to combine flavors. Stir in chopped cilantro before serving.
