15oz can roasted tomatos
2 T crushed garlic
1 lg yellow onion

soak beans overnight
Cook beans and tomatoes in slow cooker for 8 hours on high (12 hours if no overnight soak). stir occaisionally.
after 6 hours - dice and sautee the onion in olive oil. take a portion of beans + liquid (2-3 cups) and put in the blender. add cumin, cilantro leaves, sauteed onion, salt and pepper. Blend with a towel over the unplugged top of the blender to allow hot air to escape. Add blended mixture back to beans and continue cooking. Blend additional beans to get to desired consistency. (I blended about 1/2 of beans)
