Instructions

  1. Put everything but the salt in a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and let cook for around 2 hours, or until the beans are soft. (If you're using black beans, this may take longer than with other varieties.)
  2. Stir in the salt and let cook for another ½ hour.
  3. Serve the beans and their broth in individual bowls. Or strain out the beans, serve those, and use the broth as a soup base.

Notes

  • Adjust the consistency: If you prefer a thicker, stew or soup-like consistency, you can mash or blend a portion of the beans.
  • Season to taste: Tweak the amount of salt and any of the spices.
  • For enhanced flavor: Sauté the onion (and fresh chilies or garlic, if using) until lightly browned before adding the remaining ingredients.
  • Use fresh beans: They can remain tough if they're too old.
