Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 lb dried black beans (2/3 cup), picked over and rinsed
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 fresh cilantro sprigs
1/2 tbsp olive oil
6 cups cold water
1/4 tsp salt , or to taste

Directions:

Bring beans, onion, cilantro sprigs, oil, and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy pot. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until beans are just tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Add salt and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is evaporated to just below level of beans. Season with salt and discard cilantro sprigs.
Cooks' notes: If you don't have time to cook dried beans, rinse and drain a 19-ounce can of cooked black beans. Cook onion in oil in a small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, then stir in beans, cilantro, salt, and 1/4 cup water and simmer, stirring, until beans are heated through. Beans can be cooked 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat before serving.
