Instrucciones

Tap a step number to check it off as you cook.

First, pick through your 1 lb frijoles negros secos* for debris (sometimes tiny rocks can sneak in). Place the beans in a Sieve and rinse very well. Pour the beans into a large Dutch Oven or Saucepan (4 quarts or larger in capacity).

Uses

  • Sieve
  • Dutch Oven
  • Saucepan

Add the 1 medium cebolla roja mediana, picada, 4 medium dientes de ajo medianos, pelados pero dejados enteros, 2 hojas de laurel, 1 tbsp aceite de oliva virgen extra, 1 tsp sal marina fina, 1 tsp comino molido, 1 strip of orange, pelado (de aproximadamente 2 pulgadas de largo por ½ pulgada de ancho) and ½ tsp copos de pimienta roja (if using) to the Pot. Pour in the 8 cups agua**, más si es necesario.

Uses

  • Orange
  • 60 min
  • Low

Cover the Pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Remove the lid and reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Give the beans a stir to make sure none are stuck to the bottom of the pot, and set a timer for 1 hour. Leave the pot uncovered and adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer (you should see several small bubbles popping to the surface at any given moment).

Once the timer goes off, test a couple of 1 lb frijoles negros secos* by using a fork to press them against the side of the Pot. If they're easy to press through, taste a few (carefully! they're hot!) to see if they're sufficiently plump, tender and delicious.

  • 15–30 min

Otherwise, continue cooking, testing in 15 to 30 minute intervals as needed, until they're done. If you're running low on liquid, add 8 cups agua**, más si es necesario in 1 cup increments so the beans are covered at all time.

  • 5–15 min

Once the beans are very tender and tasty, you can increase the heat a little to reduce the cooking liquid into a more gravy-like consistency, about 5 to 15 minutes (it will continue to thicken up as the beans cool).

Remove the Pot from the heat. Carefully remove the 1 strip of orange, pelado (de aproximadamente 2 pulgadas de largo por ½ pulgada de ancho) and both 2 hojas de laurel. Use a fork to press the 4 medium dientes de ajo medianos, pelados pero dejados enteros against the side of the Mixing Bowl to break it up. Add the 2 tbsp cilantro finamente picado, opcional, if using, and 1 tbsp jugo de limón. Stir to combine. Season to taste with additional 1 tsp sal marina fina, if needed. Use as desired.

Uses

  • Orange
  • Cilantro

Allow leftover beans to cool to room temperature before storing in the Refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 to 5 days. You can also freeze leftover beans for several months.
