300g Lamb Brand Salt and Pepper, pinch,

Onion, finely chopped 1

Garlic clove, minced 1

Water, 60ml

Pickled jalapeños, chopped 4 slices

Oil 1 tbsp.   

All you have to do is:

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent. 
2. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until aromatic, then add the black beans, water and jalapeños. 
3. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 20 minutes until the mixture is relatively thick and the beans have softened further, then remove from the heat and roughly mash, leaving a few beans whole for texture.
