Instructions: Rinse the beans well in cold water. Put into a pot and add the remaining ingredients, except the green onions. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook covered for 30 minutes or so to blend the flavors.

The dried epazote, I stuck into cheese cloth, wrapped with some twine and just let it simmer with the beans. Kurt says if you have fresh epazote, just throw in 3-5 sprigs minced and it disapears into the beans. On my next attempt, I will leave out the cilantro to see what type of flavor the epazote really adds to the beans. Add green onions a couple of minutes prior to serving. I like to keep a little crunch to the onions.
