Chile Piquín Black Beans Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beans

   Rinse the black beans under cold water and soak them in water overnight.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Spices

   Add the dried Chile Piquín, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Simmer the Beans

   Drain the soaked black beans and add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

5. 5

   Finish with Cilantro and Lime

   Once the beans are cooked, remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime into the beans and mix well.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the Chile Piquín black beans warm, garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
