My Go-To Black Beans

Ingredients

  • 1 can black beans, about 15 ounces
  • ¼ cup bone broth, plus more as needed
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • Paprika to taste
  • Cumin to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • ½–1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, to finish

Directions

  1. Drain and rinse the black beans.
  2. Add the beans, broth, and seasonings to a small saucepan.
  3. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add another splash of broth if they get too dry.
  4. Mash a few beans with the back of your spoon for a creamier texture.
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar, starting with ½ teaspoon-ish. Taste and adjust the salt or vinegar.

Serve with eggs, in a taco bowl or wrap, or as an easy side! Anything really! Such an underrated tool.

Makes about 3 servings.
