Ingredients

    Beans, black & dried, 8 cup
    Water, tap, 20 cup

    SOFRITO:
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    Green Peppers, 1 chopped
    Onions, raw, 1 large chopped
    Garlic, chopped 6 tsp
    Salt, 2 tbsp
    Pepper, black, 1 tsp
    Oregano, ground, 1 tsp
    Pimentos, 2 pimiento
    Granulated Sugar, 4 tsp
    Cumin, .5 tsp

    Add directly to bean after cooking for 2 hours
    Bay Leaf, 2 whole
    Cider Vinegar, 1/4 cup
    Sherry, dry, 1/4 cup

Directions

Overnight soak beans in water with the green pepper, open and deseeded. When ready remove the green pepper and cook on medium heat. Stir occasionally so beans do not stick to the pot.

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. Then add vinegar, sherry, and bay leafs directly to the beans. Simmer for another hour or two, until beans are desired consistancy.

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
