Super Black Beans




Ah yes black beans, my favorite.  Black beans are super high in protein and fiber.  They are also a wonderful source for iron, antioxidants and molybdenum.  Of course, not to mention absolutely delicious!  Here is a wonderful slightly spicy black bean recipe that can pretty much go with anything.  I love to mix this with salad or as a base for my black bean burgers (that will be the second part of the post). ENJOY!

Super Black Beans
2 1/2 cups black beans (soaked over night)
5 cups water
1 green bell pepper - diced
1 small onion - diced
3 cloves of garlic - minced
1 teaspoon Himalayan Salt

Place all ingredients into a large pot, or into a crock pot. Cook on low for a minimum of 5 hours or until beans are soft and the water is almost fully absorbed. 

Super black beans on a corn tortilla topped with a delicious salad  made from lettuce, onion, cabbage, tomato, orange bell pepper and a simple vegan dressing.
