By ngaldi

Ingredients

• 2 cups dry black beans, soaked overnight
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/2 cup white cooking wine
• 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium stockpot over medium-high heat, cover beans with water and cook with onion, green pepper, garlic, bay leaves, salt, cumin and oregano. Boil until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Add water as necessary so that the beans don't dry out or scorch.

When beans are cooked, stir in wine, vinegar and oil.
