Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups beans soaked 24 hours and rinsed.
  • 8 cups water give or take- you could use broth
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon cumin
  • 3-4 cloves chopped garlic
  • Cook until soft I like the instant pot
  • ------------------

FOR THE CHIMICHURRI

  • approximately 4 cups chopped cilantro
  • Juice of 1 or 2 limes
  • Juice of 1 or 2 lemons
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • approximately 3/4 cup olive oil more or less

Instructions
 

  • Soak beans for approximately 24 hours. Strain and rinse. Optionally, and for softer beans you can add 8 cups of water and soak them for a day or more. This will help reduce the cooking time.
  • When ready to cook beans add the salt, cumin, and garlic. Cook until soft. I used the InstantPot for 1.5 hours.
  • For the Chimichurri, place all the ingredients in blender and blend until desired smoothness.
