• Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.
• Add in remaining ingredients and stir until boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced@ 20 minutes.
• Serve over white rice.
• I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
• Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be ground cumin, chicken bouillon, and garlic salt to taste.

Steps:

• Saute the onion till it begins to caramelize.
• Add garlic, then bell pepper.
• Saute some more, then add the black beans.
• Add the remaining ingredients and simmer till thickened. If you need more water, add a bit at a time.
• Instead of salt, use a packet of goya sazon, available in the Spanish section of your local supermarket - at least in the East Coast. Otherwise just use salt.
• Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Soak and rinse beans. In a large saucepan, soak beans in 4 cups water. DO NOT DRAIN. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, pepper, and garlic; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Stir mixture into beans in saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce hat, cover, and simmer until beans are tender. Serve over hot cooked white rice.
