Cumin Black Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, salt, chile powder and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chiles, beans and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans have softened and the sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro leaves and Cotija.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan cook onion in oil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned lightly. Add cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beans and orange juice and cook until beans are heated through and most liquid is evaporated. Stir in coriander.

Steps:

• Drain and rinse black beans.
• In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and saute garlic and cumin until fragrant.
• Add black beans, broth and salt.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, stirring frequently until beans are heated through.
• OR, after sauteeing the garlic and cumin, you can place everything in a crockpot on low heat for a couple of hours.
• If desired, stir in the cilantro just prior to serving.

Steps:

• Rinse black beans and drain. Chop garlic. In a nonstick skillet cook garlic and cumin in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant. Add black beans, juice or water, and salt and cook, stirring, until beans are heated through. Stir in cilantro.

Steps:

• Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a mallet. Combine cumin and cayenne in a small bowl and rub over chicken.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
• Return the skillet with its drippings to medium heat. Add diced tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in beans, corn, and water until just heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Transfer tomato mixture to a serving bowl and toss with cilantro and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Slice chicken and arrange with avocado on top of beans.

Steps:

• Rinse 1 can of black beans, and set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium. Add the cumin and half of the ginger and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rinsed black beans and the remaining whole can of black beans (including the liquid), and the coconut milk; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and the mixture is flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you want a thicker consistency, smash some of beans with the back of a spoon as the mixture cooks, and simmer longer.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crumble the plantain chips into bite-size pieces. Add the lime zest and a few generous grinds of black pepper, and stir to combine.
• Remove the beans from the heat. Stir in the remaining ginger and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice a little at a time until the beans taste bright but the coconut flavor is still rich. Top with the seasoned plantain chips and serve with hot sauce for more kick.

Steps:

• Cut 1 green pepper into 1-inch squares. Smash and peel 4 of the garlic cloves. Put the green pepper and garlic into a large pot with the beans, ham hock, bay leaves and 1 tablespoon salt. Add 2 quarts water and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer until the beans are tender, an hour or more.
• Meanwhile, make a sofrito. Cut the remaining ½ green pepper into ¼-inch dice. Peel and finely chop the remaining garlic. Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the green pepper and onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeño (leave out the seeds if you don't want it too spicy), oregano, cumin, black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt and stir for another minute. Pour in the vinegar and scrape any browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. This is your sofrito.
• When the beans are cooked, discard the bay leaf. Remove and set aside the ham hock and let it cool. Transfer 1 cup of beans to small bowl, mash them into a paste with the back of a fork and return to the pot. Add the sofrito, then the sugar. Pull the meat from the ham hock, leaving behind any white sinew or gristle. Chop the ham into ½-inch pieces and return it to the bean pot.
• Stir the beans well and bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes or so, skimming any foam from the top. Taste for salt and serve with white rice.

Steps:

• In a large pot, soak beans overnight in 10 cups of water.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil, the onion, bell pepper, garlic cloves and bay leaf to beans, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour, checking regularly and skimming the foam that forms on top.
• Meanwhile, make the sofrito. Warm remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the half onion, 1 bell pepper and 3 garlic cloves and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft. Add 1 bay leaf, cumin, oregano, black pepper and salt, and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Add the sofrito to beans. Stir in sherry vinegar, wine and olives, and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and cooked through. Remove both bay leaves, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add sugar. Serve as soup or a side dish, or over white rice.
