A friend just taught me a great easy way to dress up a can of black beans. Saute a half cup or so of sliced or chopped onions very slowly until caramelized. Then add the can of black beans (without draining them) and mix it all up. Simmer slowly until the liquid has dissipated and serve! These make a great easy side dish or can be mixed into burritos or fajitas. If you’d like to spice them up a bit, sprinkle some red pepper or chili powder or cumin in them before simmering.

Thank you! I’ve been ignoring it the past few years but keep hearing from people like you so leave it up even though I don’t add much.
Your blog has been inspiring me for 15 or 20 years now. I come back for a quick browse every now and again, and always find something. I hadn’t yet learned to like beans back then, but I will have to try this now! Thank you for sharing your kitchen adventures.
