Serves 4-6 as part of a meal

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
2 x 400g cans black beans, drained and rinsed
300ml vegetable stock, made using 1 vegetable stock cube

To garnish

2 tbsp coriander, chopped
2 tbsp pickled red jalapeños
50g feta, crumbled
corn tortillas and lime wedges, to serve

Method

STEP 1
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 4-5 mins or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 mins before stirring in the spices.
STEP 2
Tip in the black beans and stir well. Pour in two-thirds of the stock and stir until bubbling. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 mins. Mash the beans with a potato masher to the thickness you prefer – add a splash more stock to loosen, if needed.
STEP 3
Sprinkle with the coriander, jalapeños and feta, and serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges for squeezing.
