Black Beans

***from www.ourbestbites.com***

2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed

1 T olive oil

2/3 c diced onion

2-3 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced

1 c chicken broth

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp coriander

1/4 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 lime

In a saucepan on the stove, heat the olive oil to med-high heat. Saute onions for about 3 minutes or until they just start to become translucent. Add garlic and saute abut 30 seconds more. Add beans, broth, and remaining seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are done cooking, remove from heat and add in a few squeezes of fresh lime juice. Then use the back of a spoon or rubber spatula so smoosh (yes, that's a technical culinary term) some of the beans. You don't want to pulverize them, but you want to take a bunch of good smooshes so that some of the beans are smashed, which will thicken the sauce. I like mine on the thicker side so I smoosh quite a bit. They will thicken more upon standing.

If you want a more soupy consistency, just add a little more broth.
