Easy Stewed Beans
Ingredients
- 2 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 can rotel (or store brand diced tomatoes with green chili peppers)
- 2 tsp capers (optional)
- 2 cups veggie broth
- handful of cilantro, roughly chopped
Preparation
Bring a medium pot to low medium heat. Add in diced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes or until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and sauté continuously until fragrant, about 1 minutes
Add in seasonings and a splash of water and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add in beans, tomatoes and capers
Stir to incorporate well and add in veggie broth. Bring mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Stir every few minutes to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes
Stir in cilantro. With the back of your cooking spoon, lightly mash beans to thicken broth. Feel free to adjust liquid more to your liking. Remove from stove and stir while adjusting salt to taste. Serve with rice and extra veggies. Makes about 4 servings
