  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

CUMIN GARLIC BLACK BEANS

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • In a medium frying pan over medium heat, sauté olive oil, garlic, and ground cumin until fragrant. Once fragrant, add the black beans and sea salt. Stir to integrate ingredients, and let heat to a simmer. Reduce heat, and stir occasionally as the flavors meld for an additional five minutes. Then remove from heat.
