Cuban Black Beans II image

A Cuban lady down the street made these every Wednesday...wonderful stuff! She served the beans over a bowl of hot rice, and garnished them with salsa, a little sour cream, and shredded cheese. It was also good without the dairy products. Can substitute canned, rinsed beans to cut cooking time.

I've tried several Cuban black bean recipes and this one is by far the best. The beans are always perfectly cooked and the flavor is amazing.

I found this recipe to be too time-consuming. It took me over 2 hours to make the beans.
