Easy Sweet and Spicy Black Beans

Ingredients

• 4 (16 ounce) cans black beans
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 large clove garlic, chopped
• 2 TBSP olive oil
• 4 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• T TBSP light brown sugar
• 1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (according to taste)
• 1 tsp. salt

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan onion, olive oil and garlic.
2. Add beans.  Heat thoroughly.
3. Season with cilantro, brown sugar, cayenne, and salt. 
4. Simmer for 5 minutes, and serve.

Changes I made:

I increased all of the ingredients.  Things disappear fast in our house.

I sauteed the onion and garlic first.

Boiling didn't make sense.  There was no liquid to boil.

I added olive oil for sauteing the garlic and onion.

I added a tablespoon of brown sugar to make it sweet.

Note

(I use dry beans.  I soak them overnight and then cook them for 90 minutes.  Your choice.  I like dried beans because nothing is added and less waste i.e. cans)
