Cuban Black Beans II image

A Cuban lady down the street made these every Wednesday...wonderful stuff! She served the beans over a bowl of hot rice, and garnished them with salsa, a little sour cream, and shredded cheese. It was also good without the dairy products. Can substitute canned, rinsed beans to cut cooking time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover black beans. I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce and it turned out great. Served it over rice and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
