Number Of Ingredients 8

1 twelve-ounce package dried black beans, picked over
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large white onion, diced
8 cups cold water
Peel of 1 orange, pith removed (optional)
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced in half lengthwise and seeded (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Hot-pepper sauce, such as Tabasco (optional)

Steps:

  • Place beans in a large bowl or stockpot; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Let stand at room temperature 4 hours or overnight. Drain, and rinse beans with cold water; set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until it is soft and translucent but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the beans and the cold water, along with the orange peel and/or jalapeno, if desired. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer; cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, creating a saucelike consistency, about 2 hours. Most of the liquid should have evaporated.
  • Remove from heat; remove orange peel and/or jalapeno, if using. Season with salt, black pepper, and hot-pepper sauce, if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
