CARIBBEAN-STYLE BLACK BEANS WITH RUM
This is still really good even without the rum, but better with it! you can reduce the rum to 1/4 cup or increase it to 1/2 cup if desired! Use a dry smoked sausage for this, chorizo would work fine, although I have only made this using smoked sausage, I imagine that thick-sliced bacon could replace the smoked sausage. Adjust the Tabasco sauce to suit taste.

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor for your black beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking. This will help them to soften and absorb more of the delicious flavors from the other ingredients.
- If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of vegetable broth and water to cook the beans. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of rum. A dark rum will give the beans a deeper, more complex flavor, while a light rum will give them a lighter, more refreshing flavor.
- Serve the black beans with your favorite Caribbean sides, such as rice, plantains, or fried fish. You can also use them as a filling for tacos or burritos.
Conclusion:
Caribbean-style black beans with rum are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Soaking the beans overnight will help to create a more flavorful dish, and using a combination of vegetable broth and water will add even more flavor. You can experiment with different types of rum to find the one that you like best, and you can serve the beans with your favorite Caribbean sides. Whether you're serving them as a side dish or a main course, Caribbean-style black beans with rum are sure to be a hit!
