Ingredients:
Instructions:
In a large pot or a deep skillet, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pot, and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the tomato sauce and the rinsed black beans. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Add 1 tsp of salt, and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Bring the stew to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even heating.
Once the stew has thickened and all the flavors have melded together, it's ready to serve. Remove from heat.
For an extra touch, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or shredded cheese.
Serve the Tomato and Black Bean Stew warm, either on its own or over rice or quinoa for a more filling meal. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly before adding them to the stew to remove excess sodium.
- Consider adding spices such as cumin, garlic powder, or paprika for added depth of flavor.
