How to Make Brazilian Black Beans
Ingredients:
1 pound dried black beans
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Start by rinsing and sorting through 1 pound of dried black beans. Pick out any debris or discolored beans.
In a large pot, sauté 1 chopped onion and 4 minced cloves of garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until they become translucent.
Add the black beans and 1 bay leaf to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour in 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the beans simmer for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until they are tender.
Check on the beans occasionally and add more water if needed.
Once the beans are tender, season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the beans hot as a side dish or use them as a base for other dishes.
This recipe makes 6 to 8 servings of Brazilian black beans. You can also make a bigger batch and freeze the leftovers for later use.
Variations:
If you want to add some extra flavor to your Brazilian black beans, here are a few variations you can try:
Add 1 chopped bell pepper to the pot with the onions and garlic for a colorful and flavorful twist.
For a heartier dish, add 1 pound of cooked and sliced linguiça (Brazilian sausage) to the beans during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add 1 chopped tomato and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin to the pot.
