Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried black beans
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil (for the pan)
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 4-5 cups water (enough to cover)
- 1+ cups chicken or beef bone broth (optional to replace part of the water)
Instructions
- Place black beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water, and soak overnight. Drain and rinse.
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add the oregano and salt to the onions. Pour in just enough water to fully cover the onions, then use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth.
- Add the soaked beans to the pot, then pour in the remaining water (and bone broth, if using) so the beans are fully covered.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 1 hour, or until the beans are soft.
- Use the immersion blender again to blend the beans to your desired consistency. I blend them mostly smooth with a few chunks.
- Taste and adjust salt as needed. If the beans are too thick, add a little more water or broth to thin before serving.
