2. Sauté onions and garlic for 5 minutes until onions are soft.

3. Add the entire cans of beans (WITH the liquid), salt and cumin to skillet.

4. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the beans have thickened to your preference.

5. At this point, you can leave the beans whole and serve as is.  Alternatively, puree the mixture with an immersion blender or food processor.  We like them both ways!

Notes

If you are following a strict (m)SCD diet, DO NOT use canned beans.  You must use dried beans, soaked overnight, rinsed and then cooked, or find a brand like Jovial that sells overnight presoaked beans.

If you use dried, soaked beans, you will need to add more salt than the recipe states.  Start with 1 tsp of salt and add taste.  Add more if desired.
