| burrito with kale, black beans, caramelised onions & sweet potato |
After you've tasted these, you'll never buy beans in a can again. Thanks Max!
(I've rewritten the method.)
Yields 6-8 side servings. Total cooking time 2-3 hours.
2 cups dry black beans
8-10 cloves of garlic
1 medium yellow onion
1 juicing orange
Kosher or sea salt to taste
Get out a big ol', heavy bottomed pot & get ready to make some deliciousness!
Rinse & pick over beans & place them in the pot.
Peel the garlic cloves & put them in the pot.
Peel the onion, cutting it in half, leaving the root on so it stays together. Put it in the pot.
Wash & cut the orange in quarters, squeezing the juice into the pot, then toss in the quarters. Yes, peel & all.
Now cover everything with 3-4 inches of water. Heat on high until water comes a boil. Turn down & simmer, uncovered for 1-2 hours or until beans are tender & creamy. Stir occasionally, adding water if the tops of the beans become exposed. Remove orange & onion. Increase heat & simmer until reduced to a thick, creamy sauce. Season with salt.
