Black Beans

From: This one came straight from my husband's brain.  It's a Costa Rican recipe and it make me feel like I'm home no matter where I am.

Ingredients:

1Tbsp of salt
1/2 onion skewered
16 oz dry black beans

How to: 

Put all the ingredients in the crock pot and fill the pot one inch below top of slow cooker.
Cook until the beans are soft (overnight on low, or on high if you can observe it and test the beans after several hours).

Side notes:


I used 1 tsp of chili powder instead of the corriander and tumeric.  I also dusted it with cinammon instead of throwing in a cinamon stick and I substituted great white northern beans instead of kidney beans.  These changes were because it's what I had in the kitchen.  :)

I'm not a huge onion fan, and I was tempted to use only half an onion, but it is truly what gives this recipe its flavor, so throw it all in!
