1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Juice of 2 small oranges
2 cups cooked black beans plus 1 1/2 cups bean broth
For the Toppings:

DIRECTIONS
Place the ribs in a pot and add water to cover. Add the salt, onion, and garlic and boil over medium heat. When the ribs are soft and the water is almost completely evaporated, add the orange juice and let evaporate. Set aside but keep hot.

Reheat the beans with the broth in an earthenware casserole that they can also be served in. When heated, add the ribs.

Meanwhile, put the first 8 toppings in individual bowls. Allow each person to fill his or her bowl first with beans and then with a choice of toppings and a handful of lettuce.
