Beans

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Black Beans

    In a large bowl, add 1 cup of black beans and cover them with water. Soak the beans for at least 8 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Drain and Rinse

    After soaking, drain the beans and rinse them under cold water to remove any debris or excess starch.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beans

    In a pot, combine the soaked black beans and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

  2. 4

    Add Flavorings

    Once the beans are tender, add 1 tsp of salt, 2 tbs of olive oil, minced garlic, and diced onion. Stir well.

  3. 5

    Season the Beans

    Add 1 tsp of cumin and 1 tsp of black pepper. Stir and let the mixture cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the onions are soft and the flavors meld.

  4. 6

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbs of lime juice and 0.5 cups of chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well to combine.
