Beans! Beans!

A few months ago my good friend and incredible photographer Paul shared a taste of a yummy dinner he had made for his three girls. His inspiration has carried over into one of my favorite bean recipes. The photo above shows it made with red beans, but I prefer using black beans in this simple and delicious recipe.

Apple Cider Beans

Ingredients:

• Olive Oil
• 1/2 Yellow Onion, chopped
• One Can (or 2 Cups) cooked Black Beans
• 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup or Agave
• Salt and Pepper

Directions:

• Heat pan to Medium.
• Add Olive Oil, Onion and a pinch of Salt
• Once Onions start to soften add the Vinegar and Agave. Lower heat and stir until it reduces and become syrupy.
• Add the Beans and stir.
• Once Beans are heated (you can cover the pan to speed up this process) Serve them over Brown Rice with whatever Vegetables you choose. I like steamed fresh Green Beans.
