    We can start with the beans soaking over night. (I know exciting)

    2 cloves garlic
    1 tsp oregano
    4 Tbs Sazon (Sofrito)
    2 Tbs white wine or cider vinegar
    ¼ tsp GBP

    Rinse then in a large heavy pot, soak beans 4 cups water overnight. DO NOT DRAIN WATER.
    In a sauce pan put oil on medium heat. Add onion, pepper and garlic, cook till tender. (5 minutes)
    Turn heat to high under beans.
    Add remaining ingredients to sauté pan, stir then add to bean pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer till beans are tender. Serve over rice - serves 4.

    Before we can get to the beans I was out of Sazon (Sofrito) So..

    Mess #2


    Beans starting to warm up on the left, Black Bean aromatics starting on the right.


    Pork marinated in Mojo (from another post) added to the mix.


    The rest of the "mess" mixed in and simmering.


    Pulled pork from the freezer added.


    And all mixed in with the beans. Still simmering for another hour.


    Before we finish the beans we gotta do da rice! One cup with Porcini mushrooms for some more flavor. Boy do the Porcini smell good!


    Rice cookin.


    Back to the Beans. Here we have the beans and rice finishing up.


    And the first plated pic!

                Food looks great. I'll have to try that. However, the pic with your cookware takes me back to my Grandma's kitchen. She had some of the same cookware. Funny things that we remember.
