Coconut-Braised Black Beans

Step 1

Set a dutch oven or heavy saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Add the coconut milk, black beans (along with all their liquid), ginger, garlic, jalapeno, makrut lime leaves, lemongrass, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium low.

Step 2

Simmer for 20 - 25 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and thickened. Gently stir in the lime juice, add more salt to taste, if needed, and remove from the heat. Serve hot and top with fresh cilantro right before enjoying.
