simple black beans
1 onion diced finely
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups dried black beans, rinsed but not soaked
8 cups water
1-2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (about half a bunch; more is better than less)
1 teaspoon salt
the juice of two limes
Saute the onion in a large stock pot, using a little oil, until translucent.
Add the garlic, saute for a minute or two more.
Add the beans and the water, and bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat and simmer for an hour or two, until the beans are tender.
Add the cilantro, salt, and lime juice.
Note: the recipe can easily be doubled, and the beans freeze very well.
