Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound dried black beans soaked overnight
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 6 cups water
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Soak 1 pound of dried black beans in a large bowl with cold water. Make sure the water is at least 3 inches above the beans. Let them soak overnight. Drain and rinse the beans the next day.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, until soft. Then add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon each of cumin, dried parsley, dried oregano, and paprika, along with ¼ teaspoon of chili powder. Stir and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Soak the beans. Then, cook them in a pot with 6 cups of water and 2 bay leaves. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  5. Stir every 30 minutes. When the beans are soft, remove the bay leaves. Add the juice of 1 lime and salt to taste. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
