Ingredients:

1lb bag dry black beans

Chicken Stock

1 small onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 bay leaves

2 teaspoons seasoned salt

Olive oil

Directions:

Soak black beans overnight. Drain. On medium heat and in a large deep pan, heat olive oil, then add onion for a couple minutes, then add garlic for one more minute. To garlic and onions, add: beans, bay leaf, enough chicken stock to cover and bring to a boil. Season with cilantro, cayenne, and seasoned salt. Drop heat as low as you can and simmer until you like ’em (give ’em an occasional stir)…the longer they stay the creamier they will get (3-4 hours should do it).
