Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment.

I am still on the search for the perfect black bean recipe. This one is getting pretty close. I like it because it mostly involves spices from my cupboard and is super simple and easy to make. It is close to my Cuban Black Bean Recipe but with a lot more cumin and garlic.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound black beans
- 4 cups water + 3 cups water
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup diced onion or 1.5 tsp onion powder or 1 tbsp onion flakes (I prefer fresh onion)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 2 diced cloves)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Directions
- Pre-soak the beans for for 8-12 hours in the 4 cups water and baking soda.
- Drain the beans then add to an Instant Pot or regular stovetop pot along with all the ingredients
- If using an Instant Pot, set it to high simmer and bring to a boil. Then reduce to low simmer and cover with vent. Cook for 60 minutes or until desired tenderness.
- If using a stovetop pot, bring everything to a boil and simmer for 60 minutes or until desired tenderness.
- Remove from the heat and serve as is or drain any excess liquid then serve.
