Coconut Lime Black Beans
Coconut and black beans may seem like an odd pairing, but the sweet and buttery notes of coconut really enhance the earthiness of black beans. This recipe infuses the beans with coconut flavors in two ways — coconut water and coconut oil. A squirt of lime juice adds brightness to the pot.

2 cups dried black beans, rinsed
2 cups coconut water
salt and freshly ground black pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coconut oils
1 lime, juiced
2 green onions, greens only, sliced
Directions:
Soak the beans overnight in cold water to cover.
Drain the beans and transfer them to a large saucepan. Cover with 3 cups cold water, the coconut water and 2 teaspoons salt, set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then turn the heat down to low, cover and cook until tender; depending upon the age of the beans, this will take between 30 and 45 minutes (older beans take longer).
When tender, add the coconut oil and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Pour into a serving dish and garnish with the green onions.
