Coconut Lime Black Beans Recipes

EASY CREAMY COCONUT BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Add black beans, garlic, onion, bay leaf, cumin, cinnamon and the coconut milk to a large pot. Cover the beans with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil, stir then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook uncovered, until the beans are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. As they cook, stir the beans every once and a while and add extra water if they look dry.
• When the beans are tender, remove the onion, garlic and bay leaf. Taste and season with salt and pepper (start with 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon salt). Increase the heat to medium and bring to a rapid simmer. Simmer the beans, stirring often, until the liquid thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Chopped tomatoes and avocado are also excellent added to the top of the beans.

VEGAN COCONUT-GINGER BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Rinse 1 can of black beans, and set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium. Add the cumin and half of the ginger and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rinsed black beans and the remaining whole can of black beans (including the liquid), and the coconut milk; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and the mixture is flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you want a thicker consistency, smash some of beans with the back of a spoon as the mixture cooks, and simmer longer.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crumble the plantain chips into bite-size pieces. Add the lime zest and a few generous grinds of black pepper, and stir to combine.
• Remove the beans from the heat. Stir in the remaining ginger and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice a little at a time until the beans taste bright but the coconut flavor is still rich. Top with the seasoned plantain chips and serve with hot sauce for more kick.
