This is my favorite recipe, shown to me by my mother, and shown to her by her mother and so on. It is amazing! Make sure to follow instructions perfectly so the beans do not come out salty. The secret is the teaspoon of sugar. Serve with white rice.

Authentic Cuban-style black beans take a great deal of time but are well worth the wait. It is said that adding a teaspoon of baking soda in the last hour of cooking lessens the gastric after-effects of eating beans.
