I use black beans in a lot of things- chilis, soups, beans and rice (beans, rice, corn, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, etc). PM if you want a specific recipe/

I make a 1 pot mix with black beans & rice or quinoa alot, it is really good & very easy. It consists of black beans, corn, salsa or just tomatoes if you like it more mild, taco seasoning (mostly chili powder, cumin & salt), onion, rice or quinoa (uncooked) & any other veggies you may want to use (zuchinni is really yummy). Satuee the onion & other veggies if you want. Then add everything else, cover with stock or water. Cover the pan & cook til rice/quinoa is done. This makes really yummy burrito filling or we prefer it in a bowl topped with cheese & plain yogurt (or sour cream).

My mom makes balck beans and rice. She combines a little tomato sauce, seasoning, a tiny bit of olive oil, rice, and balck beans and cooks it all together. It is really good. it's my sister's favorite rice. it's really good with chicken or turkey.

Cuban Black Beans and Rice (Frijoles Negros, si tu hablas espanol )

2 cans black beans, undrained
chopped garlic
diced onion
olive oil
green pepper, diced
salt

Saute onion, green pepper, and garlic in pan with olive oil. Saute until tender. Add black beans (undrained). Add 1 tsp olive oil. Bring to a boil (watch carefully, stir and don't let it burn). Salt to taste (I usually use about 1 - 1 1/2 tsp. ?) Lower heat to low, cover and simmer for 20-30 mins. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.

Serve over rice! Yummy!!!!!

I didn't use the chutney recipe though. I used an apple chutney recipe. And I added cumin to the bean cake mix.

-Black bean chili in the crock pot.
-Refried black beans (mash them all up in a pan with a potato masher while adding spices)
