Categories     Bean     Side     Low Carb

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 can of Bush Black Beans (seem to have a better mix of black beans instead of red beans in it)
¼ medium onion finely chopped
2 table spoons Olive oil
½ cup of water
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil, sauté the onion until dark golden brown, but not burned, add the beans, Careful because when you add the beans to the oil, the oil will react to the water in the beans, and it may cause a burn, add the water, simmer until 1/4 of the liquid is reduced, check for salt.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned black beans. Just be sure to rinse and drain them before using.
  • If you don't have achiote paste, you can use a teaspoon of paprika or annatto powder instead.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as diced bell peppers, carrots, or corn.
  • Serve these black beans with rice, tortillas, or plantains.
