Cafe Rio Black Beans

[pickman]

2 Tbsp. (or 8 Tbsp) olive oil
2 (or 6) cloves minced garlic
1 tsp. (or 5 tsp) cumin
2 cans (or 6-7 cans) black beans
1 1/2 cups (or 1 46 ounce can) of 100% tomato juice
1/2 tsp (or 1 tbsp.) salt
2 Tbsp (or 7 Tbsp.) chopped cilantro

In a large pot, saute garlic and cumin in the olive oil for about 3-5 minutes, or until a distinct aroma is created. Add beans, tomato juice, and salt and stir until everything is heated completely. Keep warm until serving, and right before serving, stir in cilantro.

Those look like some good black beans, I wouldn’t have thought of putting tomato juice in them.

You could also use tomato sauce.

Question - are the beans rinsed, drained, or as is from the can?
