Beans

Method

Preparing the Beans

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    In a large bowl, add the small white beans and cover them with water. Let them soak overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    After soaking, drain the beans and transfer them to a pot. Add 3 cups of fresh water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours until the beans are tender. Drain any excess water.

Seasoning the Beans

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked beans to the skillet along with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, cooking for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve warm.
