Colombian-style beans

This tasty bean recipe is Diego’s interpretation of comfort food. Serve with white rice, maduros (ripe plantains), and arepas (cornmeal patties).

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup dry beans, such as lentils or pinto beans
• 1/4 onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 roma tomatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoon oil
• 1 cup veggie broth
• 1 carrot, shredded
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Heat up a deep pot on medium heat then add oil when hot.

2. Saute onions til they become translucent, add garlic, then tomatoes.

3. Once these veggies are cooked down a bit, add the beans, shredded carrot, broth, and black pepper.

4. Cook beans and veggies down until beans are soft (about 2 hours). Alternatively, after the saute stage, add all ingredients to an instant pot and cook based on what your device recommends for the type of beans, plus 1 minute for good luck.
