Jalapeno Spiced Black Beans

[heart_this] · May 22, 2007 · 1 Comment

Jalapeno Spiced Black Beans

Although I really like refried beans , sometimes am looking for something a little different and sometimes I want to experience the texture of the whole beans. It is times like these that I like to simply simmer the beans along with onions and some spices. Those spices tend to always include some toasted and ground cumin seeds and then some chili heat. The chili heat often comes n the form of some toasted and ground dries chilies but sometimes I am looking for something a little bit easier and freshly diced jalapenos work really well in this case. I don’t know what it is, but there is just something about warm and creamy beans that is just so addictive! I could easily eat a batch of these beans in one siting! Mashing a few of the beans so that there is a creamy ‘sauce’ surrounding the remaining beans is always nice as well.

    I wanted you to know I tried this, and it was so good & also so easy! Even my fussy 16 yr old dear daughter tried it, and liked it (she ate it with tortilla chips)!

    Guess I never thought about how easy a side dish like this could be…thanks for showing me how! I added two small, large diced tomatoes (garden fresh!) while it was simmering!

    Wish I had made the cilantro lime rice…next time!
