CUBAN STYLE BLACK BEANS WITH BACON
I started experimenting with black beans awhile ago. I tried a bunch of Cuban recipes and although most were very good, I wanted the dish to look as good as it tasted. This dish combines complimentary flavors to the beans while adding tons of color. I usually serve this dish alongside rice. If you have time you can cook your own beans in a pressure cooker, but canned beans work fine too. If jalapenos are too spicy for you, you can substitute Anaheim peppers instead.

Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight not only reduces the cooking time but also helps to remove some of the indigestible sugars, making them easier to digest.
- Use good quality bacon: The flavor of the bacon will permeate the beans, so it's important to use good quality, thick-cut bacon.
- Don't skimp on the spices: The spices are what give Cuban black beans their characteristic flavor. Be sure to use a generous amount of cumin, oregano, and bay leaves.
- Cook the beans until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Aim for a texture that is tender but still has a slight firmness to it.
- Serve the beans with rice: Cuban black beans are traditionally served with rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or even black rice.
Conclusion:
Cuban black beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great source of plant-based protein and fiber. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give Cuban black beans a try. You won't be disappointed!
