CARIBBEAN BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until barely soft.
• Add the spices and sauté until very soft.
• Stir in the beans and orange juice and sauté for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
• Mash a few of the beans with a fork or the back of a spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding orange juice or mashing more beans. You can also blend the beans with additional orange juice to make an excellent bean dip!
