Begin by cooking black beans. Drain the soaking water and place 1 cup black beans in a pressure cooker.

Turn heat off. Let pressure cooker cool down until it is safe to open.
Set aside. Keep covered until serving.

Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet. When oil is melted and heated, add 1 chopped leek and a pinch or two of Celtic salt. Lightly saute.

When leek becomes translucent, add 2 cups cubed yam, a drizzle of Bragg's (or tamari), and 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes, or until yam cubes are soft when pierced with a fork.

Turn heat off and keep covered until serving.
