Recipe Notes
*The amount of salt depends on whether you cook dried beans or start with canned ones. Dried beans should not be cooked with salt in the water, because it increases cooking time significantly. Most canned black beans already contain significant amounts of salt. The 1/2 tsp. specified here assumes that you are using canned, drained beans.
