1
Prepare the Beans
Rinse the dried beans under cold water. Remove any debris or damaged beans.
2
Soak the Beans
In a large bowl, cover the beans with water and let them soak overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
3
Cook the Beans
Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to a large pot. Add 6 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender (1-2 hours depending on the variety).
4
Sauté Aromatics
In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic, cumin, and black pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5
Combine and Season
Once the beans are tender, stir in the sautéed aromatics and add salt. Cook for another 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, stir in fresh cilantro, and serve warm as a side dish or main course.
