Black beans are delicious with lots of garlic. This is one of my favorite

ways to serve them.

 

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and saute over low

heat until golden, or 2 minutes.

 

2. Add the beans, 1/2 cup water, and the lemon juice. Cook over medium

heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.

 

3. Remove about 3/4 cup of the beans, mash them, and return to the

saucepan. Simmer very gently for another 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro,

and serve.
