1
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrot, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the carrot is slightly softened.
2
Add Garlic and Spices
Add the minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
3
Add Black Beans
Add the black beans to the skillet, along with the vegetable broth (or water). Stir to combine all the ingredients.
4
Cook and Mash
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding more broth or water if the mixture becomes too thick. Once heated through, use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
