Crockpot Spicy Black Beans

2 cup dried black beans
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrot
1 medium yellow or green sweet pepper, chopped
2 jalapenos, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 Tbs ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 Tbs dried crushed thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 bay leaves
5 cups veggie broth
4 cup hot cooked rice

Rinse beans, place in large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the beans by 2 inches. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 1 hour. (Or omit simmering and soak beans in cold water overnight in a covered pan.) Drain beans.

In a 3 1/2, 4 or 5 quart slow cooker, put in everything but the rice.

Cover, cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours. Discard bay leaves. If desired, mash beans slightly with a potato masher. Serve with hot cooked rice. Serves8.
