Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans
- 4 cups water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the black beans under cold water. In a medium-sized pot, add the beans and 4 cups of water. Let them soak for several hours or overnight.
Drain the soaked beans and return them to the pot. Add 4 cups of fresh water, a bay leaf, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 60 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the onion and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the bay leaf from the beans and stir in the sautéed onion and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the cassava flour and stir continuously.
Toast the cassava flour until it turns a golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful to stir continuously to prevent burning.
Remove the toasted cassava flour from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Mix until evenly distributed.
Serve the beans in bowls topped with a generous portion of farofa (toasted cassava flour mixture), and enjoy your nut-free beans with farofa.
