Ingredients:

• 100g of mixed beans (kidney, black, and pinto)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 50g of fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lemon, juiced

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Stove
• Saucepan
• Blender
• Cooking Spoon
• Frying Pan

Instructions:

• Rinse the mixed beans and soak them in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse again.
• In a saucepan, add the soaked beans and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45-60 minutes until tender.
• While the beans are cooking, heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
• Stir in the spices (cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
• Once the beans are cooked, drain them and add to the frying pan with the onion and spices. Mix well to coat the beans with the seasoning.
• Remove from heat and blend half of the bean mixture in a blender until smooth, then return the puréed beans to the pan and mix them with the whole beans to combine textures.
• Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and half of the chopped cilantro. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining cilantro.
