Number Of Ingredients 8

1 twelve-ounce package dried black beans, picked over
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large white onion, diced
8 cups cold water
Peel of 1 orange, pith removed (optional)
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced in half lengthwise and seeded (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Hot-pepper sauce, such as Tabasco (optional)

Steps:

  • Place beans in a large bowl or stockpot; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Let stand at room temperature 4 hours or overnight. Drain, and rinse beans with cold water; set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until it is soft and translucent but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the beans and the cold water, along with the orange peel and/or jalapeno, if desired. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer; cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, creating a saucelike consistency, about 2 hours. Most of the liquid should have evaporated.
  • Remove from heat; remove orange peel and/or jalapeno, if using. Season with salt, black pepper, and hot-pepper sauce, if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Overall, this recipe was a solid 7/10. The beans were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful, but I would have liked a bit more spice.

This recipe was a good starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more spices to the sauce and used a different type of beans.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The beans were a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland.

This recipe was okay, but I've had better. The beans were a bit bland and the sauce was too thick.

This recipe is not worth your time. The beans were dry and the sauce was watery.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans turned out mushy. I won't be making this again.
