Ingredients:

110g
1 cup cherry tomatoes
180g
1 cup tomato sauce
240g
1 can black beans
420g
1 tsp salt
6g

Instructions:

1. Heat the Oil:
In a large pot or a deep skillet, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
2. Sauté the Onion:
Add the finely chopped onion to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent.
3. Cook the Cherry Tomatoes:
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.
4. Add Tomato Sauce and Beans:
Stir in the tomato sauce and the rinsed black beans. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Season the Stew:
Add 1 tsp of salt, and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Simmer:
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.
7. Serve:
Once the stew has thickened and all the flavors have melded together, it's ready to serve. Remove from heat.
8. Optional Garnishes:
For an extra touch, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or shredded cheese.
9. Enjoy:
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.
