Rudy's Beans Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Rinse the black beans under cold water and drain well. Chop the onion and garlic finely.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the rinsed black beans, vegetable broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Simmer the Beans

   Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The beans should be tender and the flavors well developed.

   Finishing Touches

   Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Stir in chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.

   Serve

   Serve the beans warm as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
