Beans Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beans

   Rinse the dried beans under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Place them in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours.

2. 2

   Drain and Rinse

   After soaking, drain the beans and rinse them again under cold water.

   Cook the Beans

   In a large pot, add the soaked beans and 8 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

4. 4

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cumin powder, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   Combine and Season

   Once the beans are cooked, drain any excess water and add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the pot with the beans. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.
