Caribbean Black Beans

Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed with garlic press
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• ½ teaspoon fresh thyme or you can use dried
• ¾ cup orange juice
• 2 -- 15 ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet.  Add onion and sauté until onions start to get soft. Add garlic, ginger, thyme and orange juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the black beans and heat until it slightly thickens. If you think it is too thick, you can add ¼ cup of water at this point.
