Sweet And Spicy Kidney Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
salt
pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 -2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 can kidney bean, with liquid
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
barbecue sauce, to taste (I used an organic brand, Wild Thymes Spicy Barbecue; it's chunky, hot and sweet, but not smoky)
red hot sauce, to taste
beer, maybe 1/2 cup (optional)

Preparation

Spray non stick skillet with olive oil to lightly coat (if using something that is not non stick, you may have to use more oil.) When hot, add onions.
After those just start to wilt, add garlic and dry spices.
Continue until aromatic and golden.
Add tomatoes and cook until they soften and release liquid.
Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients.
Simmer until slightly thickened.
If mixture gets too thick, add water.
Serve as a side dish or with noodles or rice.
I had them as a main course with no-yolk egg noodles and it was surprisingly good.
