- Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
1 lb dry black beans1/4 cup olive oil2 onions, chopped1 shallot, minced (optional)2 bell peppers (red or green), chopped4-5 cloves garlic, minced1 1/2 teaspoon oregano1/2 teaspoon paprika1 packet Goya Sazon (seasoning)1/4 cup white wine (or wine vinegar)2 teaspoons salt1/2 teaspoon black pepper1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)1 teaspoon Frank's Hot SauceRice:3 cups long grain white rice (steamed)
Pick over beans to remove imperfect beans and any foreign matter. Rinse well in cold running water.
In a pan, bring beans to a boil in 6-8 cups water. Boil over high heat for 3-4 minutes, then cover and set aside for an hour. Alternatively, boiling can be omitted if beans are soaked overnight.
Drain and rinse beans. In a large saucepan, soak beans in 8 cups fresh water. (This time, do not drain.)
In a skillet, sauté onion and pepper over medium heat until onions are tender and translucent. Add garlic and oregano when onions begin to color (about 5 minutes). Do not allow garlic to brown. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.
Stir mixture into beans in saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low.
Simmer until beans are tender. Serve over steamed white rice while still hot.
Can be prepared in a Crock-Pot. Just soak beans overnight and put everything into the Crock-Pot in the morning. Set on low and cook for 8 hours, or until beans are tender.
If you own a small (2.5-4 quart) pressure cooker, these can be prepared in under thirty minutes. Saute onions, then add pre-soaked beans to pressure cooker; cover with water or broth and remaining ingredients. Cover and cook at 10 lbs pressure for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to sit 10 minutes, then reduce pressure; season to taste and serve.
Can be frozen in smaller portions for up to 6 months. If preparing larger quantities just for freezing, omit the seasonings and add them in while reheating, instead.
