Steps

  • Add Olive oil, onions, and green pepper to a sauce pan and sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 mins.
  • Add garlic and saute another minute, remove from heat
  • Add drained/rinsed black beans to a large pot
  • Add chicken stock and the garlic, peppers, onions to the pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
  • Continue to boil 30-45 mins adding water or additional stock while stirring constantly.
  • Once the beans thicken, turn off the heat and cover.
  • These are ready to serve, or you can do what I do and pick out the Pepper skins. All the flavor has dissolved in the black beans.
  • Add red wine vinegar and stir
  • Season with Salt and Pepper to taste. You will definitely need both
  • Serve over white rice
