Mom Appetit recipe
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
3 sundried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and minced (or 2 teaspoons tomato paste)
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried oregano)
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
One (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chicken stock or water (or water with ½ teaspoon chicken or vegetable soup base, such as Better than Bouillon)
1 to 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, to taste
Steamed white rice and hot sauce, for serving
1. In a medium, heavy saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and pepper and sauté until soft, 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes. Add the sundried tomatoes, oregano and cumin and sauté until fragrant, 1 more minute.
2. Add the beans and stock or water and bring to a simmer. Simmer, mashing the beans with the back of a wooden spoon as they cook, until the liquid has thickened, 10 minutes. Serve hot, over steamed rice, passing hot sauce at the table.
