| 4 cups | 1.67 hours |
Ingredients¶
- 1 cup dried black beans
1 bay leaf
0.5 tsp oregano
1 Tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup onion
1 jalapeño- 2 tsp salt
Cookware¶
- 1 medium pot
- 1 medium nonstick pan
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Soak the dried black beans overnight.
Step 2¶
In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add the dried black beans, bay leaf, oregano, and just enough water to cover (about 2 cups). Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Stirring occasionally, simmer until the beans are very tender, about 90 minutes.
Step 3¶
In a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and chopped and seeded jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Step 4¶
Add the onion mixture to the pot of beans. Using an immersion blender, puree the beans until nearly smooth, keeping a little bit of texture. (Alternatively, you can carefully ladle the beans into a blender, puree them, then return them to the pot.) Add the salt and taste to adjust the seasoning.
