Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced medium
2 celery stalks, diced medium
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound dried black beans, soaked according to package instructions and drained
1 dried bay leaf
1 small bunch cilantro, stems and leaves separated, stems tied together with kitchen twine and leaves reserved

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook until onion is softened, about 6 minutes. Add carrots and cumin and cook until fragrant, 1 minute; season with salt and pepper.
  • Add black beans, 8 cups water, bay leaf, and cilantro stems and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender and liquid is slightly thickened, adding more water to cover if needed, about 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf and cilantro stems before serving.

These black beans were okay, but I've definitely had better. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my black beans turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These black beans were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think next time I'll use less cumin.
