Best Black Beans

As of late I have been in a rut with my side dishes. More often than not I would serve rice or steamed vegetables with my main dish. I decided I wanted to switch up my sides a little bit and thus began my search. I found this black bean recipe at allrecipes.

Best Black Beans (4 servings at 1 point a piece)

Ingredients:

1 can (16 oz) black beans
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt to taste

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, combine beans, onion, and garlic, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season with cilantro, cayenne, and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, and serve.

The thing I loved about this dish was how it basically jazzed up a plain ol' can of black beans with very simple ingredients. The cayenne pepper definitely added a kick to the beans, and if you aren't a fan of spice I would definitely recommend cutting back the pepper a bit.
