Method (preview)

1. 1

   Add garlic and continue to saute until all onions are golden and *just* turning brown.

2. 2

   Once they're golden, add a bit of wine and simmer gently until wine is mostly evaporated.

3. 3

   If you want the black beans in the soup, add them then simmer about 5 more minutes (until beans are cooked through).

4. 4

   Serve with croutons and grated cheese.

5. 5

   Use any bread, sliced or buns.

6. 6

   I usually use about 8-10 slices.

7. 7

   Slice the bread to about 1/2 inch thickness, if it isn't already sliced.

8. 8

   Spread butter, margarine, or olive oil on one side of each piece of bread.

9. 9

   Sprinkle with your favorite dried herbs -- garlic, thyme, oregano, basil, seasoned salts...any of these work.

10. 10

    Place slices together like sandwiches, two slices each, with the spread sides together.

11. 11

    Use a bread knife to cut these paired slices into cubes (so each

12. 12

    "cube" is actually made of two pieces of bread).

13. 13

    Spread cubes out on cookie sheet. Place in 300F oven. Bake for about 20- 30 minutes (until the cubes are brown and toasty).
