Make the Moosewood recipe above with black beans.

I like the pioneer woman’s black beans. She adds lots of bell pepper. They are really good. She adds chicken broth but I just used water.

I'd add garlic, green bell peppers, chili powder, and cumin. And don't forget to salt to taste at the end, salt really helps highlight the other flavors.

If you can cook dried beans instead of using canned beans, cooking the beans with seasonings really makes them more flavorful.

Use pimenton (smoked paprika), after you brown onion and garlic in olive oil add a tsp of pimenton and tsp of cumin, stir into the oil to bloom for a minute or two. Then add two cans of beans. Either red or black. For red beans, I like to add oregano and red bell pepper. A bay leaf if good to add too.

Maybe not even an entire pepper from the can let alone the entire can -- start off conservatively with this, it has a real kick.

Yes, smoked paprika! I love this recipe—so easy, too:

Look up rajma rice. Heavenly when done right. Half of India calls it their fav comfort food for a reason.

Hey OP, I just made this recipe last night - it was pretty good!

You do need to have a lot of spices for it. If you don't already have most of them, it would not be a convenient recipe.
