Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a large pan and add 1 Onion and 2 Garlic clove. Cook on low for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  • Add 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon Cumin, 0.5 teaspoon Paprika, 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano, 2 tablespoon chipotle paste and 2 tablespoon Tomato puree and stir into the onions.
  • Add 800 g Plum tomatoes, 470 g Black beans and 75 ml Vegetable stock and stir well. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the juice of 1 Lime and 5 g Fresh coriander (cilantro) and serve.

Notes

  • You need a large pan to make all of this. We used a heavy base soup pan.
  • Make sure to drain and rinse your canned black beans before using.
  • Add some extra creaminess to this black bean stew by crumbling some feta on top before serving.
  • If you have made your black bean stew too spicy, you can cool it down before serving with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche, or a vegan alternative. We don't think it is overly spicy though.
  • If you want to make this thicker, then you can mash some of the beans in the stew. But we like the chunkiness of the whole beans.
