While beans are cooking, in a sauce pan on low heat, combine ingredients from green peppers to cumin to make a sofrito. Cook until peppers and onions are soft and flavors meld. Add to beans after they have cooked for about 2 hours. If you add the sofrito to the beans sooner the salt will harded the bean shell and they will never soften.

If able, allow to sit overnight in fridge to develop the flavors. Remove bay leaves and reheat before serving. Serve with cooked rice for a complete protein meal. Can be garished with raw onion, cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. Strained beans can also be used for burritos or to make vegie burgers
