Notes
- You need a large pan to make all of this. We used a heavy base soup pan.
- Make sure to drain and rinse your canned black beans before using.
- Add some extra creaminess to this black bean stew by crumbling some feta on top before serving.
- If you have made your black bean stew too spicy, you can cool it down before serving with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche, or a vegan alternative. We don't think it is overly spicy though.
- If you want to make this thicker, then you can mash some of the beans in the stew. But we like the chunkiness of the whole beans.
