BEANS

My current favorite bean situation (a recipe from a friend):

  • 2 cans* of beans (usually black)
  • 1-2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1/2 onion, diced (yellow or white)
  • Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, to taste
  • Drain and rinse beans (if from a can).
  • Put them in a medium-sized pot.
  • Fill pot with water just until beans are covered.
  • Add all ingredients and stir.
  • Bring to a boil with the lid on.
  • Turn down to low to simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Take off lid, stir, and finish cooking until you have your desired consistency (we like it a little mushy).

*I haven't been able to figure this out texture-wise with our dried black beans, even after soaking and cooking for a long time, so I'll have to work on that a bit. But beans in cans work really well!

What are your favorite ways to make beans?
