Sous Vide No-Soak Orange-Cumin-Chipotle Infused Black Beans
Black beans are some of my favorites, and they are so enriched by bright orange zest, earthy cumin, and smoky-spicy chipotle! We used these to make what we call "Huevos Anova" (on a tostada, topped with a crispy-fried egg, avocado, fresh orange slices, and hot sauce!), but YOU can serve them anywhere black beans belong. Spice up your taco night!

Prep Time: 00:25
Recipe Time: 06:00
Temperature :
193F / 89.4C
Ingredients
- 1 c/210 g dry black beans
- 2 2/3 c/630ml water
- 1/3 c/75 ml fresh squeezed orange juice
- 2 Tablespoons/25g orange zest
- 1 teaspoon/5g salt
- 1 teaspoon/4g cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon/2g chipotle chili powder
Directions
- Set your Anova Precision Cooker to 193ºF/89.4ºC.
- Combine all of your ingredients in a zip-locking bag.
- Using the immersion method, release as much air from the bag as possible.
- Place into the bath and set the timer for 6 hours. Because this is quite a high temperature, it is recommended that you cover the surface with plastic wrap/cling film/Saran wrap to prevent heat loss and evaporation if your container is uncovered.
Finishing Steps
- Remove bag from bath and pour contents into sauté pan on the stovetop over medium high heat.
- Simmer until the desired amount of liquid has reduced. The flavors will become even more pronounced during this time, so no need to add more of anything.
- Once your desired texture is reached, serve and enjoy!
