Black Beans.

Many people tend  not to use 'Black Beans', maybe they are not sure how to use it or may not know about the very delicious dishes that can be made from it.  First of all, black beans are packed with healthy nutrients including iron and protein.  For the most part, Vegans love it.

I have just finished cooking a pot of black beans soup. Here's how i made mine:

1cup of dried black beans,  salt, pepper, cloves,  2cloves of chopped garlic,  thyme, dried oregano, dried basil, i chopped onions,  any meat of choice, or none,  coconut cream or oil, potatoes, yams, spelt flour dumplings and corn on the cub.

Wash black beans cook until soft, add cloves, potatoes, yams, cut corn on the cub smaller and add  dumplings. When close to cook, add all your herbs, pepper and salt to taste lower heat and simmer for another 10-15mins.

This is a healthy and filling dish on its own, but if you like, you can have a nice slice of toasted whole grain Italian bread with olive oil on it.

Please note, if you want beef or chicken in your soup you would have added that with the beans before they were fully cooked. However, if no meat, the coconut cream or oil is good enough.

Enjoy, and have a healthy day!!
