Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried beans under cold water to remove any debris. Place the beans in a large bowl, cover with water, and let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to a large pot. Add 4 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours or until beans are tender.

  3. 3

    Flavor the Beans

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the beans are cooked, drain any excess water and mix them with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir in chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
