Black Beans Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beans

   Rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold water and soak them in water overnight. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Beans

   In a large pot, add the soaked black beans and 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

3. 3

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine Flavors

   Once the beans are cooked, add them to the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir in cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat, stir in chopped cilantro, and serve warm as a side dish or over rice.
