Turning a couple of cans of plain black beans into quick Cuban style black beans is easy. Black beans (frijoles negros, in Spanish) are a staple in Cuban cuisine. But forget hours of soaking and cooking the beans, with this short-cut recipe we start with cooked black beans and add in Cuban-style seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans Black Beans, do not drain
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon Cumin
  • Chopped Parsley (for garnish – optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the black beans with the liquid (do not drain) to a saucepan.

  2. 2

    Add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, salt, pepper and cumin to the saucepan. Stir well until combined.

  3. 3

    Cover the saucepan and bring the black beans to a simmer over medium heat.

  4. 4

    When they start to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.

  5. 5

    Keep the beans at a simmer, lower the heat if necessary. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan, especially as they thicken.

  6. 6

    Serve the beans with white rice and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
