kcalLuly’s famous Black bean recipe, while this is the official recipe, there is a secret recipe that Luly will not disclose. So this is good but not actually real…..Fake news recipe.
Ingredients
1 lb dried black beans, soaked overnight
6 c water
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 green pepper, minced
1 large onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
3 Tbsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
Directions
- While the beans are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the minced green pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables have softened.
- Place the black beans, water and bay leaves in a large soup pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pot, and simmer the beans until tender, 45 min – 1 hour.
- Add the cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to the vegetable. Mix well.
- Once your beans are tender, remove the bay leaves. (Do not drain the beans.)
- Add a cup of the soft beans to the vegetables in the skillet and mash the beans with the back of a spoon.
- Add the vegetable mixture to the beans in the pot. Add the vinegar and sugar. Bring the beans to a gentle simmer, and simmer, uncovered, until your desired consistency is reached 5-10 min.
- Serve the beans immediately over rice, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days to let the flavors deepen.
Notes
- Enjoy, do not expect the same results, as this is a Luly’s recipe and it’s loaded with fake news.
