"This is a quick and delicious way to make black beans with a little zing. I served them for a dinner party and it was so easy to make them up in the afternoon and then let them heat in the crock pot on low until we were ready for dinner."

Questions & Replies

  1. Is the broth meant to get soaked up by the beans? If so how long should that be taking?

  1. Very yummy! I cut the recipe in half and added the juice of 1 lime, but otherwise followed exactly. Really loved the garlic flavor!!
     
  2. Amazingly great flavor and quick to make! I cut the oil down to 1 1/2 tbsps. I did use the optional cilantro..... I think it's a must! These beans go perfectly with spanish rice. Thanx!
     
  3. I served this with grilled chicken marinated in Esse's South American sauce & a salad. Delicious meal. Emphasize to watch carefully so that the canned beans do not overcook, just warm through.
     
  4. This is sooo easy it is hard to believe it could be so tasty. It is a great accompaniment. We make it often. You could spice it up with chopped jalapenos too.
     
  5. Yummy! I made these beans tonight but only for 2 servings. Used 1 can of beans, a generous tsp of cumin, 1/2 c of broth and a generous tsp of garlic. No sea salt so used regular salt, but sprinkled it on. No measuring there:) Omitted the cilantro but these beans were great as is! Thanks for an EASY recipe!
