This recipe called for bacon (3 slices) ..which we omitted for the cleanse however, after the cleanse it may be interesting to try as originally written.
2 cups black beans (soaked 24 hrs. and rinsed)
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 cups chopped peppers (red, yellow, or green)
2 onions
3 garlic cloves (or more if you choose)
1-2 tsp dried thyme (dependent of taste)
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
black pepper to taste
1). In a pan, combine beans, bay leaves, and salt with 6 Cups of water. Bring to a boil: reduce heat, cover and simmer for 45-60 min. until beans are tender. Drain and discard bay leaves.
2). Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook bacon until crisp. Drain, crumple and place on paper towel.
3). In skillet with (1T bacon oil) or olive oil, saute sweet peppers, onion, garlic, thyme, cayenne, until veggies are tender.
4). Combine all ingredients, heat through. Serve Hot with favorite grain.
We used the left overs as a salad topping and also combined with homemade salsa for a great snack with rice cakes.
