This is my favorite recipe, shown to me by my mother, and shown to her by her mother and so on. It is amazing! Make sure to follow instructions perfectly so the beans do not come out salty. The secret is the teaspoon of sugar. Serve with white rice.

Time 2h40m

Yield About 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound dried black beans, rinsed thoroughly
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large white onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 to 5 garlic cloves, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large white onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup green olives stuffed with pimentos, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
Cooked white rice for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, soak beans overnight in 10 cups of water.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil, the onion, bell pepper, garlic cloves and bay leaf to beans, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour, checking regularly and skimming the foam that forms on top.
  • Meanwhile, make the sofrito. Warm remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the half onion, 1 bell pepper and 3 garlic cloves and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft. Add 1 bay leaf, cumin, oregano, black pepper and salt, and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Add the sofrito to beans. Stir in sherry vinegar, wine and olives, and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and cooked through. Remove both bay leaves, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add sugar. Serve as soup or a side dish, or over white rice.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. It also helps to remove some of the gas-producing compounds, which can cause indigestion.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Black beans are a classic choice, but you can also use kidney beans, pinto beans, or even lentils.
  • Add flavor with spices: Don't be shy with the spices! Cuban black beans are typically flavored with garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to make Cuban black beans. Simply add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.
  • Serve with rice: Cuban black beans are traditionally served with rice. You can also serve them with other sides, such as tortillas, bread, or salad.

Conclusion:

Cuban black beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great source of protein, fiber, and iron. So next time you're looking for a new and flavorful recipe, give Cuban black beans a try!
