Caribbean Black Beans
- 2 cups chopped organic onions
Caribbean Black Beans - 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 T grated fresh ginger root
- 2 tsp fresh thyme (1 tsp. dried)
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 6 cups cooked organic black beans, drained & rinsed (4-16-ounce cans)
- 1 1/4 cup organic orange juice
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Sauté the onions and garlic in a non-stick pan for about 5 minutes or until the onions begin to soften; add the ginger, thyme, and allspice and sauté, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the onions are very soft – about 5 more minutes. Stir in the beans and orange juice and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. Mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon for a thicker consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve over organic brown rice.
