Best Black Beans With Cumin And Garlic Recipes

BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• In a medium stockpot, combine soaked beans (see Editor's Note), water, onion, green pepper, garlic, bay leaves, salt, cumin and oregano. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally and add water as necessary so that the beans don't dry out or scorch.
• When beans are tender, stir in wine, vinegar, and olive oil.

BLACK BEANS WITH GARLIC, ONION AND JALAPENO

Steps:

• Add the beans to a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the beans are slightly soft, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Turn off the heat and add the kosher salt and garlic salt.
• Add the butter to a large, heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat, then add the jalapeno, garlic and onion. Saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain the beans, reserving the liquid, then add the beans to the saute pan and simmer for 10 minutes, adding the reserved cooking liquid if too dry. Season to taste and serve.

BLACK BEANS WITH GARLIC AND CUMIN

Steps:

• If time allows, soak the beans overnight or for several hours in water to cover, then drain. (If not, proceed but expect cooking time to be somewhat longer.) Combine with water to cover in a pot over medium-high heat. When the mixture boils, add the epazote if you're using it, crushed garlic, and cumin, partially cover, and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook, stirring infrequently, until the beans are tender and most of the water is evaporated, at least an hour and probably more; add water as necessary to keep the beans covered.
• When the beans are tender, add salt, pepper, more cumin if you like, and the minced garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, then stir in the onion. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.

BLACK BEANS WITH GARLIC, CUMIN, AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Rinse black beans and drain. Chop garlic. In a nonstick skillet cook garlic and cumin in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant. Add black beans, juice or water, and salt and cook, stirring, until beans are heated through. Stir in cilantro.

CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
• Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

CUMIN BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan cook onion in oil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned lightly. Add cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beans and orange juice and cook until beans are heated through and most liquid is evaporated. Stir in coriander.
