1 tsp. ground cumin
3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced into a paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper,

1. Bring beans and 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 50 minutes. Drain beans and set aside in a bowl.
