Black Beans

Scott came up with a black bean recipe that we use in burritos. We really like these beans.

2 cup black beans
Onion
Garlic
Olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground coriander

Soak the black beans in at least 4 cups of water for a few hours to overnight. Rinse the beans and set aside. Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil. Add the beans and enough water to cover the beans. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat then add the cumin and coriander. Turn down to low heat and let the beans simmer for probably over an hour until soft. After about 30 minutes, add the salt (you can decrease the salt to 1 teaspoon if you are salt conscious although I think they usually need a bit more salt). Periodically stir the beans and add water if needed. When the beans are soft add the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
