Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb dried black beans
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch cilantro (minced)
  • 1 whole red onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (smashed and chopped)
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or to taste)
  • more cilantro
  • Greek yogurt
  • jalapeno
  • chopped onion
  • avocado

Instruction

  • The night before, soak your beans in water. When you wake up, drain the beans.
  • In a large, heavy bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic. Saute for about 4 minutes. 
  • Add the drained beans, salt and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover pot partially, leaving just about a quarter inch of space open. 
  • Simmer beans for 60 minutes.
  • After an hour, add the chopped cilantro. Simmer for another 75 minutes.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and additional salt to taste. If making black bean soup, puree half carefully in a blender then stir back into beans on the stove. 
  • Garnish with any toppings you like! These freeze great!
