If youve never tried Black Beans and Rice, now is the time. You can cheat a little on the recipe by purchasing prepared black beans in the can, or you can quick-soak the beans in a crock pot to reduce the over-night preparation time, but it still takes 5-hours on a high-heat setting. Soak beans in cold water overnight making sure all beans are covered by 2-inches of water. Drain and rinse beans. Place in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add 4 cups of water, garlic, oregano, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. cover and simmer until beans are tender, approximately 2-hours. Drain beans and return to the pot or Dutch oven. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and pepper, cook, stirring occasionally until softened for about 5-minutes. Add cumin and jalapeno, cook, stirring until softened for approximately 1-minute more. Stir onion mixture and vinegar into beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring remaining 4 cups of water and 1 tsp. salt to a boil. Add rice, cover and reduce heat to low. simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, approximately 15 to 20-minutes. Serve the beans over the rice with lime wedges on the side of the serving dish. Posted to dailyrecipe@recipe-a-day.com by The Cook
