1 TBLS salt

Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute gently until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the jalapeno and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add saute mixture, salt, and cilantro to beans and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, or until very tender. Drain the beans and reserve 2 cups of cooking liquid.
