BLACK BEANS WITH FIGS AND BELL PEPPERS

Serves 4
 

Ingredients

    1½ tablespoons unsalted butter or corn oil
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
    1 large yellow pepper, seeded and chopped
    2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
    2 whole cloves
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
    12 medium California figs, sliced
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    1 teaspoon brown sugar
    2 cups cooked black beans
     

Directions

Melt the butter or heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat.

Add the onion, bell peppers, garlic, cloves, cumin and cilantro.

Cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Add the diced figs, lemon juice and brown sugar to the onion-pepper mixture.

Add the beans, cover and cook over low heat until the peppers are soft, about 20 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.

Serve hot or chilled.
