Black Beans and Rice

My kids LOVE this meal. So cheap and still yummy. 
Soak the beans overnight, well covered with water, with a teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar (this breaks down some of the enzymes in the beans)
 Drain and rinse. 
Pour in fresh water and bring to boil.
 Simmer or put in Crock pot on high for at least 4-6 hours. (til they're good and soft) 
The children like the beans with salt and Pure Sunflower Margarine. 
My husband and I like them seasoned-- saute onions, garlic in olive oil or coconut oil til translucent. Add in a few teaspoons of your fave curry powder and cumin. Fry up til it smells amazing, but be careful not to burn it! 
Add in a can of diced tomatoes, stir and simmer, with as many beans as you need for 2-4 people. Pour over Rice.
 (if you do not have a rice cooker, consider getting one! Lifesaver for folks who eat rice several nights a week.)
