Beans

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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).
