1 pound dried black beans
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano, crushed between your fingers

2 tablespoons dark rum
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cups water
1 ½ teaspoons salt
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place black beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain beans and rinse with fresh water.
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir yellow onion, paprika, and cumin seeds until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
