Black Beans And Friends

This was an unlikely combination, but I was craving black beans and sweet potatoes, so I put them together. It turned out well.

1-3 med. sweet potatoes~ peel and cube

1 lg. elephant garlic clove, sliced

1 med. onion, chopped

1-2T butter

1 can drained-rinsed black beans

Combine the first three ingredients in a covered pan. Add a little water, fresh ground pepper, cover and simmer about 5 minutes. Add 1-2T butter, uncover and continue to simmer until liquid is almost absorbed. Add the black beans, cover and heat a few additional minutes. Serve as a side or main dish. . .Lin
