How to Make Caribbean Style Black Beans With Rum
- In a large saucepan, cook 1 lb smoked sausage (or 8 slices thick-cut bacon) over medium heat until browned. If using bacon, crumble before proceeding.
- Remove sausage/bacon from pan and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of rendered fat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1-2 jalapenos, minced, to the saucepan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup water, 1/4 cup rum (optional, adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked sausage/bacon and stir to combine.
- Continue to simmer over low heat for 1 hour, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
- Season with salt to taste before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
