Sorry for the delay. Yesterday was Election Day! It was complete with an election watch party, where we had patriotic food and played games where only debating was allowed.
Quick and Easy Black Beans
My sister has been asking for a while to post this recipe. So here it is! The original is from Our Best Bites. Below is the recipe halved. I only had lemon, so limes were not used.
1 can black beans, drained/rinsed
1 t olive oil
1/3 C diced onion
1-2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
1/3 C chicken broth (or water,)
1/8 t cumin
1/8 t coriander
1/8 t oregano
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/2 lime
Instructions:
In a saucepan on the stove, heat the olive oil to med-high heat. Saute onions for about 3 minutes or until they just start to become translucent. Add garlic and saute abut 30 seconds more. Add beans, broth, and remaining seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are done cooking, remove from heat and add in a few squeezes of fresh lime juice. Then use the back of a spoon or rubber spatula so smoosh (yes, that’s a technical culinary term) some of the beans. You don’t want to pulverize them, but you want to take a bunch of good smooshes so that some of the beans are smashed, which will thicken the sauce. I like mine on the thicker side so I smoosh quite a bit. They will thicken more upon standing.
If you want a more soupy consistency, just add a little more broth.
