Ingredients

1 1/2 medium sweet onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
4 1/2 cups drained cooked black beans or 3 (16 ounce) cans black beans
3/4 cup orange juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until barely soft.
Add the spices and sauté until very soft.
Stir in the beans and orange juice and sauté for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Mash a few of the beans with a fork or the back of a spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding orange juice or mashing more beans. You can also blend the beans with additional orange juice to make an excellent bean dip!
