2 cups (500 ml) dried black beans
1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup (175 ml) 10% cream
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dried thyme
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dried basil

2 tbsp (25 ml) Russian-style mustard
2 tsp (10 ml) white wine vinegar
2 tbsp (25 ml) chopped fresh cilantro

Step 1

Soak the beans overnight, at room temperature, in at least 8 cups (2 L) of water. Drain and boil
in fresh water for an hour and a half or until tender. Once beans are fully cooked, strain and
set aside. Using the pot the beans were boiled in, sauté butter, onions and garlic until onions
are translucent. Add thyme, basil and cream and bring to boil. Add beans back to the pot and
simmer gently. Add mustard, tomato and vinegar. Once the cream in the pot of beans has been
reduced by at least half, season with salt, pepper and fresh cilantro.
