• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste (optional, but makes for a richer flavor)

3. Add the tomato paste, if using and stir into the shallot

4. Add a splash water or vinegar to deglaze, scooping up any stuck shallots

6. Drain the black beans except for about a tablespoon of the packing liquid, and add all to to the pot

7. Stir all ingredients together, and add salt/pepper/cumin/red pepper flakes to taste 

8. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until fully warmed through 

9. Toast the Ezekiel bread, and spread with grass-fed butter or drizzle with olive oil

10. Scoop some beans into a bowl, squeeze the lime over the beans, and add the Greek yogurt on top
