Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black soybeans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 cup Vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chipotle peppers, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the rinsed and drained black soybeans to the skillet and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the beans cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has reduced and the beans are infused with flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
