Cuban Black Beans
October 31st, 2009 by Arielle
I’ve made this recipe so many times, my copy of Vegan Planet automatically opens to this page, although it’s simple enough I don’t even look at the recipe anymore.
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 red onion, diced 1 carrot, finely chopped 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder (I always add a lot more than this) 1/4 cayenne (omit if you don’t like spicy food, or add more if you do) 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained 1 1/2 cups cooked or one 15 oz. can black beans, drained salt and pepper to tasteHeat the oil in a large skillet (really, make it large, or you’ll make a mess). Cook the onion, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic over medium heat until softened. Stir in the spices, tomatoes, and beans. Add salt and pepper to taste, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender and the tomatoes are saucy, at least 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve over rice or cornbread.
