"Fried" optional I suppose, but I would love to get a couple of peoples' favourite recipes for ways to cook beans for eating with rice.

I would prefer not just re-posted recipes from the internet if that isn't too snooty.

Bonus points if it requires me to add more spices to the cupboard.

Easy black bean recipe that I use frequently

Put a little oil in a saucepan, heat it up over low heat

Toss in some onion powder, garlic powder, oregano and cumin (i usually use around 2 tsp. each), but most importantly you'll want to grab some Sazón Goya (there are others, but this is what I use) and put in a sachet for about every pound of beans you're gonna cook

then just cook up the seasoning until it smells very fragrant, then add your beans (if they're canned, use the bean water, if you made them from dry, add some water or broth) and simmer until everything smells nice and the beans are hot.

serve with rice or whatever you're feeling like eating beans with

nice and lazy recipe, but it eats good

Hell yea that's the sort of thing I had in mind. I used to have like the best recipe but it must have gotten lost during a house move.

Normally I'm raising an eyebrow at specialty spice packets but "Sazón Goya" looks very legit and more importantly I can get it in Aus so that is going on the list regardless.

Thank you Flakes.

You're very welcome

If you ever want refried beans, just leave out half the liquid and smash the beans with a potato masher until they get to a consistency you're good with

You can make a homemade substitute for Sazón Goya by mixing 2 tablespoons of ground annatto (or paprika), 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, ½ teaspoon of cumin, and salt to taste.

Does this sound approximately true to you? Obviously not the same thing, but ballpark? I'm just trying to figure out if I can throw together a substitute today.

Put some MSG in it (1/2 tsp)

It's the secret ingredient in the Goya kind

Otherwise, yeah it looks pretty good
