Homemade Black Beans From Scratch Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Never made homemade black beans from scratch before? Here's an easy way to add plenty of flavor to homemade black beans. Serve with brown rice, or perhaps paired with a spanish rice or mexican rice, use to make burritos, or serve as a side for just about any meal. For something a bit more high protein, pair your homemade black beans with quinoa or kaniwa, instead of rice. Lately we've been eating lots of homemade black beans topped with salsa alongside a little tofu scramble and topped with salsa for a big "Huevos rancheros"-inspired protein-boost at breakfast. And who doesn't love an excuse to have salsa for breakfast? And a high-protein breakfast is always a good ideaThis recipe is both vegetarian and vegan. If you need it to be gluten-free, too, leave out the optional bouillon cube and check your vegetable broth to make sure there's no added or hidden gluten. And, cooked black beans keep fairly well, so there's no reason you can't make extra and keep them in the freezer in ready-to-go portions.
