Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ Large Onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Honey (or Maple Syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 can (1 1/2 cups) No Added Salt Black Beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the balsamic vinegar and honey, reduce heat to low, and continue to cook until the onions are very soft, about 10-15 minutes or more. Add a bit of water if the liquid boils out to prevent burning.

  3. Add the black beans in the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir, and heat through.

  4. Serve as is for a side dish, or over rice or quinoa with a salad or steamed vegetables as an entree.
