A complete protein and sooooo yummy. We made brown rice and topped it with homemade black beans, avocado, onions from the garden and a dollop of sour cream. Here's the black bean recipe and a photo:
2 16oz. bags black beans
1 medium onion chopped
2 TB olive oil
1 TB minced garlic
2 TB ground cumin
1 TB chicken bouillon
1 bundle parsley
1 bundle cilantro
1 bundle green onions
1 russet potato peeled whole
Day One
Soak beans and rinse 2-3 times.
Day Two
Make sure you have fresh water.
Bring to rolling boil med heat. Remove foam.
In a separate pan heat oil and fry onion.
Add garlic and heat 1 min.
Add cumin and bouillon. Set aside
Add potato to the beans and allow the beans to cook for an hour.
The foam should cease to form.
Add onions to the beans.
Add green stuff and simmer 4-5 hrs.
Remove the potato and green stuff.
Ready to eat.
Add salt as needed.
You can make it super easy and skip the buying of dried beans; just use canned beans instead and you can cut out a bunch of steps. Don't drain and add a little water.
