1 1/2 teaspoons toasted ground cumin seed
1 teaspoon salt
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Sort, Rinse and soak beans overnight in about 3 quarts of water.
Drain beans and cover them with about 1 inch of fresh water. Add 1 ? tablespoons of the oil. Cook beans, covered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
Heat remaining oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic, jalapeños and onion until just tender. Add sautéed vegetables to the beans with the ground chile, cumin and salt; stir well. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
