Cuban Black Beans image

This is my Mother's favorite black bean recipe. I think she got it from an old Cuban cookbook. Her note is: "flavorful!" Cooking time doesn't include soaking time.

Categories     Black Beans

Time 2h42m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb dried black beans
1 green bell pepper, chopped
10 cups water
2/3 cup olive oil
1 large onion, minced
1 green bell pepper, minced
4 garlic cloves, pounded
4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons wine
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Wash beans.
  • In a large pot, soak the beans with the first chopped bell pepper in water until swollen. Overnight?.
  • **It doesn't say so but I'd drain it at this point and add new water so the beans won't be so musical if you know what I mean.**.
  • Cook until soft about 45 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a medium pan. Add onion, second bell pepper and garlic and cook until soft.
  • Add 1 cup of cooked beans and mash them well. Add mixture to bean pot.
  • Add dry seasonings to the pot.
  • Cover and boil 1 hour.
  • Add vinegar and wine.
  • Cover and simmer 1 hour.
  • If broth is too watery, uncover and cook until it thickens.
  • Just before serving stir in the olive oil.

These beans were a little too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The beans were mushy and lacked flavor. I think I'll stick to my old black bean recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover black beans. I had some in my pantry that I didn't know what to do with, and this recipe was perfect. The beans were so creamy and flavorful.
