Wash beans. Soak 3 hours in 2 quarts of water. Boil in same water and keep on low heat (simmer) 1 hour. Heat oil and fry slightly: garlic, green pepper and onion. Add oregano, bay leaf, salt, sugar and pepper. Cook 10 minutes. Add to beans when they are well cooked. Add vinegar. Serve with cooked rice.* I made this using canned black beans, adding vinegar with the bay leaf, salt, sugar and pepper. I also chopped up a small radish and shaved a baby carrot. It was terrific! |
