Black Beans

This is the recipe I got from Amy Walton. I've never made it as good as her, but I'm still working on it.

2 C. dried black beans
2 1/2 qts, cold water
1/8 c. canned tomato sauce
1.4 c. diced tomatoes
1/4 c. diced onion
4 T. chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 t. cumin
1/8 t. fresh oregano leaf
1/4 t. granulated garlic
1/8 t. black pepper
1/8 t. celery seed
2 t. salt-add at the end of cooking

Soak beans overnight. Discard water and add fresh water. Add all ingredients except salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 2 1/2-3 hours. Add water as needed.

I think next time I'll try adding the seasonings towards the end of cooking.

To refry, put half mix in blender then add to whole beans.
