Cuban Black Beans recipe
A staple common to Cuban cooking is black beans. You will
find that although they may seem common, they can be used in a
variety of different dishes.
1 pound dried black beans
4 cups of water
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
¼ pound salt pork, chopped
1 pound smoked ham hocks, cut in 1 inch pieces
2 teaspoons paprika
3 teaspoons ground cumin
2 bay leaves
4 cups chicken stock
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Place black beans and water in large stock pot. Cover and boil two minutes.
Turn off heat and let stand covered for 1 hour.
Remove the lid and add the rest of the ingredients, except the vinegar, salt
and pepper. There should be enough water to just cover the beans, so if
necessary add a bit or water. Cover and simmer until the beans are tender, about
2 hours. Take out the hocks and remove the bones. Return the meat to the pot.
Add the vinegar, salt and pepper. Simmer long enough to heat the vinegar.
