Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the dried black beans under cold water to remove any debris. Soak in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    In a large pot, drain the soaked beans and add 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until beans are tender. Add more water if needed.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until onion is translucent.

  4. 4

    Combine and Season

    Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the pot of beans. Stir in cumin and salt to taste. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the beans before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or as part of a main meal.
