Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
½poundsDried black beans
1mediumOnion, finely chopped
½smallGreen pepper, finely chopped garlic, pressed (however much you can stand. I probably used 4-5 cloves) a little oregano
½teaspoonGround cumin 2 bay leaves
1mediumSpoonful of Dijon or other strong-flavoured mustard
1tablespoonDark, strong-flavored vinegar red wine to taste A little red pimento, finely chopped (maybe 1/4 cup) A dash of red (cayenne) pepper Sea salt to taste
1Vegetable bouillon cube
11-inch piece of Kombu sea vegetable (optional, some say)

Directions

Wash and soak the beans overnight in water to cover. The next day, saute the onion and green pepper until soft. Add black beans, along with soaking water. Add remaining ingredients, stir well, cover, and cook until beans are soft. Serve over rice with chopped onions on top.

This is also good served with cornbread. Barbara Klopp From: Jay Stevens Date: 11-17-93
