A favorite that requires minimal prep, but delivers maximum flavor in a sophisticated dish. Serve over rice, topped with Mango Salsa. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chopped onions |
3 garlic cloves (minced or pressed) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot |
1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme) |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
3 (16 ounce) cans black beans (drained and rinsed) |
3/4 cup orange juice |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Saute the onions and garlic in the oil for about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to soften. Add the ginger, thyme, and allspice and saute, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the onions are very soft, for about 5 more minutes.
2. Stir in the beans and orange juice and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. Use a heat diffuser if necessary to prevent scorching.
3. Mash a few of the beans with the back of the spoon for a thicker consistency.
4. Season to taste, and serve.
