Cuban Black Beans

I was making dinner for Taylor and decided to do a 

Caribbean themed dinner.

I might these beans and the crispy fish.

The beans started from bagged, beans.

I had never used those before and you do have to soak them for a while,

but it was well worth it for taste and texture.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Black Beans

¼ C Olive Oil

1 large Onion, chopped

1 medium Green Bell Pepper, chopped

6 cloves Garlic, minced

5 C Water

1 (6oz.) can Tomato Paste

1 (4oz.) jar Diced Pimentos, drained

1 Tbsp Vinegar

2 tsp Salt

1 tsp White Sugar

1 tsp Black Pepper

STEP 1

Soak beans 8 hours or overnight in water. 

Enough water to cover

STEP 2

In 8 hours, or the next day. Drain beans.

Heat Oil in a pot over medium heat, sauté Onion, Green Pepper, and Garlic

until tender.

STEP 3

Stir drained Beans, Water, Tomato Paste, Pimentos, and Vinegar into Onion mixture.

Season with Salt, Sugar, and Pepper.

Bring to a boil. Cover, Reduce heat, and simmer 1 ½ hrs stirring occasionally,

ENJOY!

It isn't hard recipe, just takes a lot of time.
