Cuban Black Beans II

Cuban Black Beans II

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.
