Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb. dried black beans

  • 4 cups water

  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

  • 11/4 cups chopped onions

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 vegetable bouillon cube

  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp. hot sauce (or to taste)

  • 1 Tbsp. sugar

  • 3 cups cooked rice

Directions

  • Sort and wash the beans. Pour the beans and 2 cups (400 ml) of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 1 hour. Drain the beans and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the beans, remaining water, bay leaves, bouillon cube, oregano, hot sauce and sugar. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaves. Serve over rice.
