I always cook my black beans with a ham hock or some bacon. I think it gives the dish a delicious smoky flavor though!

To create an interesting black beans and rice dish, sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add cumin, chili powder, and a dash of smoked paprika for depth. Stir in cooked black beans and simmer with vegetable broth until flavors meld. Serve over fluffy rice, garnished with cilantro and a squeeze of lime for brightness.
