Vegetables & Aromatics

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soaking the Beans

    In a large bowl, combine the dried black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans. Cover with water and let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Chopping Vegetables

    While the beans soak, chop the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sautéing Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Adding Beans and Broth

    Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Add the beans to the pot along with the vegetable broth, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  3. 5

    Simmering

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth or water if needed.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnishing

    Once the beans are cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
