Ingredients

  • 2 15-oz cans black beans
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 large garlic clove – minced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp white vinegar

Directions

Heat oil in a saucepan. 

Add onions, peppers, and garlic, and cook over medium heat until everything is soft (about 5-7 minutes).

Add both cans of beans (NOT drained or rinsed) and the 1/2 cup of water into the saucepan with the onion-pepper mixture.

Add the rest of the seasonings (salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, sugar, vinegar) to the saucepan.

Stir together and cook on medium/low heat for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Using a wooden spoon, mash some of the beans to thicken the texture.

Serve over white rice with a side of mango salsa or fried sweet plantains.
