Crush the garlic and turn it with oil in a pot for 1 minute.
Add the black beans, bay leaves, and hot water to the pot.
Cook the beans over low heat for 40 minutes so the skins do not toughen.
Remove the bay leaves and mash a small portion of the beans to bind the sauce.
Rest the dish for 5 minutes and serve with plain rice.
💡 Tip: Removing the bay leaves at the end of cooking keeps the bean flavor clean.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with white rice and a few lime wedges on the side.
