Preparation
Chef’s notes
If you do not have cheesecloth for the bouquet garni, you can also use a coffee filter.
You can skip making your own homemade black beans by substituting 2 cups of canned (rinsed and drained) black beans. If you do this, be sure to taste for seasoning adjustments. You will likely need to use more cumin, salt and pepper.
