Categories Bean Side Low Carb

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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:

For the best flavor, use dried black beans and soak them overnight before cooking.
If you're short on time, you can use canned black beans, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
Add some chopped vegetables to the beans, such as onions, peppers, or tomatoes, for a more flavorful dish.
Season the beans with your favorite spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or oregano.
Serve the beans with rice, tortillas, or bread for a complete meal.
