Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the beans in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them. Bring to boil, drain and add fresh water to cover. Add the cumin, garlic, chili, onion, bay leafs, salt and pepper. Simmer gently, covered, for about one hour, or until cooked (add more water if the beans start to get too dry).

  2. Step 2

    In a large serving bowl combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno pepper and oregano. Drain the beans, add them to the tomatoes and toss.

  3. Step 3

    Mix the olive oil with the juice of the lime (adding the juice to taste) and the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and add to the beans. Toss thoroughly.

  4. Step 4

    Just before serving, add the coriander and mix well.

Tip
  • this salad can be made several days in advance but the coriander should not be added until just before it is served.

I made this not as a salad but as a stew of sorts without the dressing, and added canned tomatoes to make it to loosen it up. Nice and warm, the spices were just right. Going back for seconds. I am sorry that there is no picture-people are passing by this great dish.
