Black Beans
Cuban Style


  • 1/2 pound dried black beans
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 small green pepper, finely chopped garlic, pressed (however much you can stand. I probably used 4-5 cloves)a little oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon of Dijon or other strong flavored mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon dark, strong-flavored vinegar
  • Red wine to taste
  • Red pimento, finely chopped (maybe 1/4 cup)
  • Dash of red (cayenne) pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 vegetable bouillon cube
  • 1 (1-inch) piece of Kombu sea vegetable (optional, some say)

Directions

Wash and soak the beans overnight in enough water to cover.

The next day, sauté the onion and green pepper until soft.

Add black beans, along with soaking water. Add remaining ingredients, stir well, cover, and cook until beans are soft. Serve over rice with chopped onions on top.
