Cilantro Lime Beans

Cilantro tends to be one of those love-it-or-hate-it kind of foods (which is genetic). As for me, I love cilantro with a passion unseemly between woman and herb, and I am entirely unapologetic about it. If it has cilantro in it, I am on board.

Just look at that. Doesn't that look delicious?

I requested Brian use the cilantro in one of my favorite dishes, Cilantro Lime Beans. Cilantro pairs brilliantly with lime. The two are basically a culinary crime-fighting duo.

This is the only superhero pose I can reliably draw.

This recipe needs to be planned in advance, as the beans generally need to soak overnight, but beyond that it is a very simple recipe. In addition, you get easy meals for the next few days because this recipe keeps well, and makes a lot of leftovers. Lunch the next day? Bowl o' beans. Don't have time to make dinner? No problem, you've got beans!
