Slow-Cooked Cuban Black Beans
Ingredients
  • 1 pound black beans, washed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 minced hot green chile peppers
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Combine beans and water in a large container, allowing them to rehydrate overnight under cover.
2
Next, thoroughly rinse the beans and place them in a large cooking vessel. Add sliced onions, red and green bell peppers, bay leaves, paprika, cumin, oregano, chile peppers, and sufficient liquid to submerge the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then decrease the heat and let it simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

Check on the beans periodically to determine their tenderness; once they are tender, add minced garlic and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Season the dish to your liking with salt and pepper
