Step 10

Step 11
Stovetop Instructions
Step 12
Add beans + 6 cups water to a large pot (you want to ensure beans are fully covered by water).
Step 13
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a high simmer.
Step 14
Cook until tender, adding more water if necessary. I find it takes about 1 hour of simmering to reach a soft, tender consistency.
Step 15
If most of the water is evaporated by the time the beans have cooked, add around 1 cup more before proceeding to the next step.
Step 16
While still set to simmer, stir in the spices, followed by the tapioca/water mixture. Stir thoroughly, turn heat a smidge higher (medium to medium-high), and continue to stir until all starts to thicken and looks creamy.
Step 17
Stir in vinegar or lime and optional sweetener.
Step 18
Turn off heat and salt to taste.
Step 19
Serve and enjoy!
