Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoon olive oil
5 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
2 cans black beans, 14oz, rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water

If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE



Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake image

Whether or not you've fallen for this cheesy white-bean tomato bake, we'd like you to meet its bolder counterpart, smoky and spiced, with lots of melty cheese. Black beans shine in a deep-red mixture of fried garlic, caramelized tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin. The whole skillet gets coated in a generous sprinkling of sharp Cheddar or Manchego cheese, then baked until melted. The final result is what you hope for from a really good chili or stew, but in a lot less time. For a spicier rendition, add a pinch of cayenne with the paprika, or douse the final skillet with hot sauce. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, rice, a baked potato or fried eggs.
