Beans Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Beans

Rinse the dried beans under cold water to remove any debris or dirt.

2

Soak the Beans

In a large bowl, soak the rinsed beans in water overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.

3

Cook the Beans

Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot. Add 4 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil.

4

Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the beans simmer for about 1-1.5 hours, or until tender.

5

Sauté Aromatics

In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.

6

Combine and Season

Once the beans are tender, drain them and add them to the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir in cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

7

Garnish

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
