black beans

[desh]

So what's your favorite way to cook/spice a can of black beans? For making beans and rice or something? Actually never done this before, and I know that the beans just heated plain from the can are quite bland.

Vegetarian, please. And thanks!

Chop roughly equal quantities celery, carrots and onion into smallish bits (1cm or so) -- probably somewhat less in total than your can of beans. Fry in butter or oil until they get a little more vibrant and start to smell good. Add cumin to taste, stir and fry a bit longer, then add to canned beans and heat/stir thoroughly. It's still on the simple side, but it'll add some nice flavour while letting the beans be themselves.
