Best Cuban-style Black Beans - Vegan Recipe
My favorite legume recipe is homemade black beans with a Cuban twist. Easy to make, vegan and so delish! Do check out my food blog for cheap ingredients, recipe text & photos:
Ingredients
1 pound dried black beans - about 2 cups.
1 onion - peel and chopped.
1 green bell pepper - chopped. Remove stem and seeds.
1 tablespoon garlic - peel and chopped.
1 teaspoon oregano - fresh or dried.
1 teaspoon ground cumin.
1 bay leaf.
2 tablespoons vinegar - white or any favorite like: rice, red wine or apple cider vinegar.
3/4 cup red or white wine - Optional. I used red wine. Okay to substitute with apple juice.
1 teaspoon sugar
8 cups water
1 tablespoon oil - for sauteing veggies
Salt and pepper to taste - about 1/2 teaspoon total
Directions
Add a tablespoon of oil to the pot. Saute onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes.
Stir in chopped garlic, oregano, cumin, bay leaf, sugar, salt and pepper.
Pour in wine and vinegar.
Rinse beans and remove any debris.
Finally, add rinsed black beans and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook black beans until tender, about 3-5 hours.
You can reduce cooking time by an hour by first soaking the black beans overnight. Cook to desired tenderness.
Cooking time varies with cooking temperature. A high simmer will shorten the cooking time. I go for a low simmer so the water doesn't evaporate too quickly - it's easier to control. You can do a high simmer, but stir and check on the water level often. Either way, check on beans and add water as needed during cooking.
As with any type of slow cooking, make sure to stir from time to time. Sometimes the beans will stick to the bottom of the pot, so scrape and stir before they burn.
If you like watery soup, then the recipe is ready when the beans are tender. You can thicken the bean sauce a couple of ways. Cook beans uncovered for half an hour or so, to reduce and thicken the liquid. Or, try mashing some beans against the side of the pot and stir to thicken.
Serve over white or brown rice.
