Black Beans with Cilantro

By Dianewaldron

Need time to soak over night and cook all day the following day. Very easy.

Ingredients

• 1 Pound Black Beans, sorted and soaked over night
• 6 Cups Chicken Broth
• 2 T Dried Cilantro
• 1 T Garlic Powder
• 1 Cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro (to add later)

Preparation

Step 1

Use a six quart slow cooker. Sort and soak the beans over night in a birch of water (beans should be fully covered by at least two inches of water).

In the morning, drain the water, and place the soaked beans in an empty slow cooker. Add the broth, dried cilantro, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

Cover the pot and cook on low for 8-12 hours, or until the beans are bit-tender. If you live in a high altitude you may need to cook them a bit longer.

Toss the hot cooked beans with the fresh cilantro before serving.

If feeding a large group, provide rice, tortilla chips, salsa, and avocado slices to extend your meal.
