Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams dry black beans
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 8 cups chicken broth, fresh or from powder
  • 1-2 Bird's Eye Chilis, seeded diced, optional

Instructions
 

  • Place black beans in a large bowl and cover with at least two inches of water. Refrigerate and let soak overnight. Or, for a quick soak, add the beans to a large pot cover with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil, boil hard for 5 minutes, then remove from heat, cover, and let soak for an hour.
  • Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Return them to the pot. Add in all the remaining ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the beans are tender. This will depend a lot on the age of your beans. Fresher beans will be ready in 45-60 minutes, older beans might take 2-3 hours. Start tasting around the 45 minute mark.
  • Taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary, then remove beans using slotted spoon. Serve as a side dish.
