From: Chef Hope Sandler

1 small red onion, diced

¾ cup fresh orange juice, divided

1 clove minced garlic

2 cups cooked or 1 – 16 oz can black beans

Zest of one orange

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

To a medium skillet add ¼ cup or orange juice and bring to a simmer.  Add the red onion and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion wilts and becomes translucent.  Add additional orange juice by the tablespoonful if the onions become too dry.  Add the garlic and continue to sauté 1 minute.  Add the black beans, orange juice and zest, cumin, and chili powder and stir well.  Simmer over medium-low heat, and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until beans are very hot.  Serve immediately.
