In reply to Patti Morgan. Hi Patti! Great question. I did highlight some details in the post. But since black beans are smaller, I didn't find the need to do that for this recipe. I hope you love them!

Delicious! I used your recipe for black beans a week ago, then I mashed them up because I wanted them to be like refried beans. I made your recipe with pinto beans today and they are equally delicious. I substituted curry powder for cumin.

Hi Kate,
I’ve made lots of your recipes and they are great. I haven’t made these beans yet, but I have a question. I always thought it is best to soak beans overnight before cooking with them. Can you please give me your thoughts on this?
Thanks!

In reply to Anne. Hi Anne! You could always remove some of the sauce for the recipe you are using, if you prefer. I'm excited you are loving it!

This recipe is such a winner! I’ve recently started to make stuff from scratch, and I’m loving this site!! This will be a repeat for sure. Also wondered if you have a plain black bean recipe that is not saucy? I’m thinking for nachos or recipes that just need a softened black bean. Thanks!

My first time making black beans and it came out great! I didn’t have orange zest but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. Great recipe…thank you! ✌️

In reply to Janice. I'm happy you loved them! Sometimes the black beans can vary if they aren't as fresh and more liquid is needed. Thank you for your feedback, Janice!
