Cuban Black Beans

Ingredients

• 2-1/2 cups dried black beans
• Enough water to cover the beans
• 2 qt water
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 2 tsp cumin

Directions

1. Cover the beans with cold water and soak them for 8-12 hours. Discard the water. Then combine all ingredients in a large stock- pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat and allow beans to simmer for 1 ½ - 2 hours with cover slightly ajar. (The age of dried beans affects their cooking time. Older beans take longer; fresh beans cook faster.)
