Caribbean Black Beans

4 servings

Serve over rice.

 

1 1/2 cups chopped onions

3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger root

1 tsp. fresh thyme (1/2 tsp. dried)

1/2 tsp. ground allspice

4 1/2 cups drained cooked black beans (3 16-ounce cans)

3/4 cup orange juice

salt and ground black pepper to taste

 

Sauté the onions and garlic in the oil for about 5 minutes, 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, for 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.
