Simmered Black Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Add the beans to a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the beans are slightly soft, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Turn off the heat and add the kosher salt and garlic salt.
• Add the butter to a large, heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat, then add the jalapeno, garlic and onion. Saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain the beans, reserving the liquid, then add the beans to the saute pan and simmer for 10 minutes, adding the reserved cooking liquid if too dry. Season to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Cook and stir onion, green pepper and olive oil in medium skillet over low heat until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, cumin and chili powder, cook 1 minute.
• Add beans, tomatoes and thyme; stir to combine.
• Cover and cook over very low heat about 10 minutes.
• Uncover and cook, stirring until beans are thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine beans, onion, and garlic, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season with cilantro, cayenne, and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, and serve.

Steps:

• Place beans and soaking water in a large, heavy pot. Add halved onion and bring to a gentle boil. Skim off any foam that rises, then add garlic and bay leaf, reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
• Add salt and continue to simmer another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until beans are quite soft and broth is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust salt. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove and discard onion and bay leaf. For the best flavor refrigerate overnight.

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.
