3 cloves garlic
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 Tablespoon Oregano
1 can coconut milk
1 Green pepper
2 Celery Stalks
1 chicken Bullion

1 cup Black Beans to 1 cup water
You can use canned or bag of Black beans soaked for 8 hours and rinsed
I usually make -(makes enough for 6 with alittle leftover)
3 cups of Black Beans
3 cups of Water
3 Cloves Garlic
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
Boil the above ingredients in
pot (1-2 hours) or pressure cooker (less time)  -until beans are soft
Take a strainer and fish out half of the beans and mash them with a spoon-
(depending how runny you like your beans you can keep the water from the mashed beans or discard)
I like to keep the water
Put the mashed beans back in the pot
Add 1 can of coconut milk
Cook for 20 minutes
Add 1/2 Tablespoon Oregano
1 Green Pepper sliced biteable strips
2 Celery Stalks
1 Cube of Bullion Chicken
