Black Beans

I don't have a photo of black beans, so how about our water bottles? I woke up the first morning at the Porkies and they looked so colorful. And precious since we boiled river water diligently the night before. Do you think I should I start a label of photos "taken in pajamas"?

Well back to black beans...like water, so basic, simple and so good. Good for breakfast as huevos rancheros, good for lunch as burritos, good for dinner with grilled chicken and peppers, good as a bean and tomato sandwich at midnight!

Black Beans

2 cups black beans
1 tsp salt
2-3 tsp cumin
2-3 tsp cinnamon

Soak the beans overnight in salted water. Rinse in the morning and add twice as much water as beans. Boil until they are tender and mash them a little while adding cumin and cinnamon. These freeze well. They keep well on camping trips. You'll never buy a can of refried beans again!
