Caribbean Black Bean Stew
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 4 chopped fresh jalapeno chilies, chopped (more or less to taste)
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes (with their liquid)
- 2 cups water
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice (or lemon)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest (or lemon)
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Optional garnishes
- sour cream, chopped cilantro, chopped scallions, lime wedges
- Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over moderate heat and saute the onions until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapenos and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer covered for 30-45 minutes. If you want a thicker stew, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon and stir them into the mixture.
- Serve with any or all of the optional garnishes if desired.
