Directions

  1. Heat a large pot or pressure cooker; spray lightly with olive oil if desired.
  2. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring, until softened.
  3. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the drained beans, 7 cups of water (6 if pressure cooking), thyme, chili powders, allspice, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil. If pressure cooking, lock on the lid and bring to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 9 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and allow pressure to come down naturally. If cooking in a regular pot, simmer until beans are very tender, 1-2 hours depending on your beans. If beans seem too dry, add additional water. Once beans are tender, puree using a hand blender or in batches in a regular blender. Return to pot and add remaining ingredients, except orange juice, and add salt and chili powder to taste. Simmer until carrots and collards are tender.
  6. Add orange juice just before serving.
  7. Serve garnished with orange slices on top or on the side.
