Saffron Black Beans!

While preparing a Grilled Polo Assado Chicken Sandwich, we came up with a new side. This is essentially the same way we make Saffron Rice, but with black beans. And it turned out great.

In a saucepan, saute half a sweet onion in a robust olive oil.

Then bring your seasoning/herbs to heat.
Fresh ground black pepper
Turmeric
Cumin
Dried Basil
Dry parsley
Pinch of saffron

Once fragrant, add about 5 cloves of fresh diced garlic and stir for a minute.

Add a can of Bush’s low sodium black beans.

Pour Add salt to taste, or leave out.

The result was a very simple side that takes only a few minutes to prepare, but is packed with flavor!
