Hollys beans

 So yummy. 10 out of 10


Quick and Easy Black Beans 


2 Cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed 

1/2 T olive oil 

2/3 C diced onion 

2-3 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced 

2/3 C chicken broth (or water, I use broth for extra flavor) 

1/4 t cumin 

1/4 t coriander

1/4 t oregano 

1/2 t salt 

1/4 t pepper 

1 lime 


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.
