Cheesy, Spicy Black Bean Bake image

Categories     Bean     Cheese     Casserole/Gratin     Dinner

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
6 ounces grated cheddar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
  • Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
