The Best Homemade Black Beans

Ingredients:
1 pound dry black beans
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth (vegetable broth for vegetarian)
cilantro
sea salt

Directions:
Soak the beans for at least six hours.  Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a soup pot/large pan, and then add in the onion.  Once the onion gets soft (~3 minutes), add in half of the garlic and cook for another minute or so until the garlic gets fragrant. Add in the soaked black beans and add enough broth to cover the beans by about an inch of liquid.  Bring this to a boil and then reduce heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for one hour.  After an hour, add in the rest of the garlic, some chopped cilantro, and some salt. I added about 2 teaspoons of salt, but you can add more/less to taste. Cover it and let it cook for one more hour.
