Mexican Beans

Ingredients:
1 Litre- Water
1 Kilo- Black Beans
2- (Small) Onion
2- (Large) Red Chillies
2 Spoons- Milk( Optional)
To Taste- Salt and pepper

Method:

Rinse the beans out nice and proper
Put them in a pan of copper,
Let them soak all through the night
By tomorrow they'll be just right.

Pour water in a pot of clay
Add the beans without delay.
Chop onions with a pungent smell
And toss them in the pot as well.

Upon a stove, with the flame low
Let these simmer long and slow.
When the beans start to get wrinkled
Salt and pepper should be sprinkled.

Two chillies are the perfect thing
To give this recipe some zing.
Adding milk- a spoon or two-
Might also be good for you.

Cover the pot and leave it cook,
But take an occasional look
And give a periodic turn
Just so that the beans don't burn.

When the smell turns hot and heady
You'll know that the beans are ready.
With pita bread you serve them hot.
A dish your friends will forget not!
