As simple as this recipe is to make, it sure does pack a lot of flavor. The tomato paste adds an additional layer of flavor that you won't get with other basic recipes for cooked black beans. It's makes a great side dish to serve with nearly any Cuban-themed dinner.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 scallion/green onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp unsalted tomato paste
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 c low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp red wine vinegar (apple cider vinegar can be used)
1 (15-oz) can(s) black beans, rinsed and drained
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, scallion, bell pepper and bay leaf; and sauté for 3 minutes or until onions are softened.
  • 2. Stir in the tomato paste and cumin, and cook for 30 to 60 seconds (which allows the natural sugars to caramelize a bit, which produces a deeper, richer flavor).
  • 3. Add broth, vinegar, and beans, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the beans are heated throughout. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 4. Remove from heat, and stir in chopped cilantro. Remove bay leaf, and serve immediately while beans are still hot.

This is my new go-to recipe for Cuban black beans. They're so easy to make and always turn out perfectly. I love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers. I usually serve them over rice with a side of avocado and sour cream.

I was skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cumin, but I'm so glad I tried it! The cumin flavor was subtle and really complemented the other spices. The beans were also perfectly cooked and had a great texture.
