Directions

1

["soak the beans for 6-8 hours (or overnight - extra time won't hurt them) with 2 tbs cumin", "remove the stem and seeds from the chili and coarsly chop it", "drain the water from the beans and put all of the ingredients in a pot, cover with water and simmer until very soft. ** NOTE - I got a pressure cooker for Christmas and it cooked my beans in SEVEN, yes SEVEN minutes. Get a pressure cooker is my advice. ** NOTE 2 - if you haven't the time or patience to cook dry beans, just simmer 3 cups of canned beans with the above ingredients for a few minutes, using only 1 tbs cumin, and proceed.", "heat olive oil to medium and saute onions til they sweat. add the garlic and saute a couple more minutes.", "add the black beans and oregano. Saute for 2-3 more minutes.", "turn off the heat. Add the cilantro and lime. Using a potato masher or big fork, mash the beans to a coarse texture (you want them to retain some \"beaniness\"").""
