Lately i have been eating black beans once a day.  Kinda wondered what cinnamon would be like with beans and the usual spices.  Checked online and recipes add a little cinnamon exist.  This isn't what you would typically associate with cinnamon.  Usually people associate cinnamon with sweetsmand sugary rolls.

Well it's awesome!  So earthy and flavorful.  Tonight i soaked black beans with salt, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, pepper and liquid smoke.  I never rinse by beans and acter soaking go to boil and simmer.  I also had some crock pot chicken deboned and deskinnd that cooked in bbq, chicken spice and liquid smoke.  Mixed all that with rice, the beans and veggies.

Ever cook not bake but cook dinner with cinnamon?  If not give it a try.

I cant ever get dried beans to turn out.  I think I need to have the firesight soak them ahead of time.  I wish Fooman would come out with a bean tek...

Soak beans overnight
Ditch water
Put beans in a pot and fill with semi cold water about 2 inches above beans , add celery , carrot some whole garlic  and thyme.
Bring to a simmer and keep at a simmer , don't boil hard .
The beans will take roughly 25 mins , just eat a few around this time and see if you're happy with the texture.
Once done add salt and a little olive oil.
Transfer beans and water to a flat dish and allow to cool, store beans in the water they were cooked in , better that way.


Op -cinnamon can be used with a lot of things. Try black beans with cinnamon , fresh ground black pepper and sweet potatoes - make sure to add copious amounts Of salt and butter.
