Comment préparer Abuela's Frijoles Negros Grandma's Cuban Black Beans
- Wash 1 pound of dried black beans and soak them overnight in a large bowl with 8 cups of water and ½ of a medium green bell pepper, cut into large chunks. Let this sit at room temperature.
- Drain the soaked beans. In a large pot, combine the beans with 12 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the beans are very tender (approximately 1-1.5 hours, or until easily mashed).
- While the beans simmer, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and the remaining ½ medium green bell pepper, chopped, until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Mash 1 cup of the cooked beans roughly with a potato masher or fork. Add this to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
- Pour the entire mixture (sautéed vegetables and mashed beans) back into the pot with the remaining cooked beans.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 bay leaf, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of dry white wine. Cover and simmer for another hour.
- If the beans are still too watery after 2 hours of simmering, remove the lid and cook uncovered until they reach your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the bay leaf before serving. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and enjoy!
