Easy Brazilian Feijao - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan then add the shallots and garlic and cook until golden.
Mix in the black beans frying for a few seconds then add in the chicken broth (please feel free to use any broth you like!) and bring to boil.
Once boiling add the bay leaf then lower the heat and cover leaving to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes until the beans have softened and the broth has darkened and thickened slightly (if you prefer less liquid with your beans leave to simmer uncovered for the last few minutes until you reach the desired consistency).
Turn off the heat and add the worcester sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with the parsley, fresh or dried whichever you prefer either is fine, et voila you're good to go!
