black beans two ways

black beans in a can arent so available in germany so when i go through the effort of soaking and then boiling the dry ones for like 2 hours i make a whole bag and try to use them in a variety of ways. Yesterday i made a simple black bean spread by sauteeing some garlic and onions in olive oil then throwing them in the food processor with some salt, more oil, water and a tablespoon of tahini.

tonight i used the rest of the beans for dinner. The beans were sauteed with onions, garlic, pine nuts, walnuts and some mole sauce and then jammed into and poured over oven roasted teeny tiny acorn squash. Although this pic is pretty whack due to my awful kitchen lighting it was a delicious meal, my favorite part being the oven roasted thyme onion bits. mmm.
