the cold water, bay leaf, and whole sage leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce
the heat, and cook, uncovered, at a gentle boil until tender, abt. 30
minutes. Remove the herbs and set the beans aside.
Meanwhile, cover the chilies [sic] with the hot water, soak for about 20
minutes, and puree in a blender. Heat the oil in a large skillet; add the
onions, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon of the cumin. Saute over medium
heat until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2
minutes more.
Add the beans and their broth to the onion along with 1/2 teaspoon salt,
the remaining cumin, and the chili [sic] purees. Cook over medium heat for

but not mushy. If they need more liquid, add a little water. Add the
chopped sage and salt to taste.
