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.
Ingredients
- 1 pound black beans, washed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 5 cups water
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place beans in a large saucepan with enough water to cover, and soak 8 hours, or overnight; drain.
Step 2
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and saute onion, green bell pepper, and garlic until tender.
Step 3
Into the onion mixture, stir the drained beans, water, tomato paste, pimentos, and vinegar. Season with salt, sugar, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender.
