A delightful and easy-to-make black bean dish, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the onions to enhance their flavor.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Toasting the spices releases their essential oils, enhancing the dish's flavor.
Add the black beans and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Use a gentle hand when stirring to keep the beans intact.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
Always taste before adding more salt to avoid over-seasoning.
Serve the spiced black beans over rice or with cornbread. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
