Quick Black Beans
Report
How to cook the easiest canned black beans in 20 minutes! This recipe transforms a can of black beans into a flavor-packed side dish or meatless meal.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Puerto Rican sofrito
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 15 ounce can black beans (not rinsed or drained)
- 1/2 tablespoon Sazon seasoning (or 1 packet)
- 1/2 teaspoon chicken boullion (or more to taste (Better Than Boullion))
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water
- Cooked white rice for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet and add the sofrito, saute 3 to 4 minutes, stirring. If the sofrito is frozen, cover on low until it melts, then saute.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until the flavors meld and thicken. Uncover and simmer 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring.
- If you want thicker beans, uncover and simmer longer. For soupier beans, add more water.
- Taste for salt before serving and adjust as needed.
- Serve over white rice, if desired.
Notes
- I always have sofrito in my freezer especially to whip up beans, I make a big batch and freeze it in ice cube trays. It lasts me for months! If you don't have, you can certainly make this on a smaller scale, or you can buy in jarred.
