A quick and delicious recipe for spiced black beans, perfect as a side dish or a main course.
Chop the onion and garlic finely.
Use a sharp knife to make chopping easier and safer.
In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the black beans, cayenne pepper, cumin, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Rinse the beans if using canned to reduce sodium content.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add a splash of water if the mixture becomes too dry.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Add the lime juice just before serving to preserve its fresh flavor.
Serve the spiced black beans warm as a side dish or main course.
Garnish with additional cilantro or a dollop of vegan sour cream for presentation.
