Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried black beans, soaked overnight in water, rinsed and drained
- 6 bay leaves
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced, divided
- 2 cups Sauvignon Blanc
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Method
Put beans, bay leaves, garlic, about half of the green onions and 3 quarts water into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until just tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Skim off and discard any foam that gathers on the surface.)
Meanwhile, in a small pot, simmer wine over medium heat until reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
Uncover the bean pot, stir reduced wine and salt into beans and continue to simmer, uncovered, until beans are very tender and creamy, 20 to 30 minutes more.
Ladle into bowls, top with remaining green onions and serve.
