Black Beans With Garlic Onion And Jalapeno Recipes

CUBAN BLACK BEANS WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a stockpot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and jalapeños for 4-5 minutes or until they turn translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the black beans, warm water, salt, cumin, and chili powder and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce the heat so that it simmers. Allow to cook for 10-15 minutes or until most of the water evaporates leaving a thick sort of broth. At this point, if you'd like to thicken the beans a bit more you can remove about ½ - 1 cup of beans and mash them (using a potato masher or a wooden spoon) to make a thick sort of paste but this is optional. Add the beans back into the pot and stir. Top with fresh cilantro and lime juice stir to combine.

SOFRITO BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Clean the beans. Pour black beans into a strainer, and rinse. Run your fingers through the beans a few times and pick out any rocks or dirt.
• Soak the beans. Pour beans into a large pot and cover by a couple inches with water. Ideally, let sit overnight. If you're running short on time you can skip the soaking step and put the beans directly on the stove, add the bay leaves and bring to a boil.
• Cook the beans. If you've soaked them overnight, drain the beans the next day, return to the pot, and cover by a few inches with fresh water. Place over medium-high heat, add bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
• Make sofrito. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onions, jalapeños, and garlic and season generously with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are starting to brown and become soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, and coriander and stir to toast the spices for a couple of minutes.
• Combine sofrito and beans. Once beans are tender, add onion mixture to beans and stir to combine. If you'd like the bean broth to be thicker, let the beans cook uncovered until they are the desired thickness. Taste and season with salt. Serve!
