How do you fix black beans?

[TipsyTraveler]

For me it's a dish I grew up eating but mostly versions from Latin and British Caribbean countries so I'm finding it interesting how they are cooked and viewed by others. Never too old to learn.

@Sabeking : Sauté onion, green pepper in olive oil. Put in can of drained beans, add 1/2 cup water, teaspoon of vinegar and a packet of Sazon by Goya. Bring to high heat,then simmer. Sprinkle on some Adobo and serve.

Didn't think anyone else on this thread knew what Sazon was so didn't mention it.

I’m not who you were quoting, but I put the Sazon in the rice!

I use a bay leaf for the rice .

My sister-in-law is from Puerto Rico and introduced me to Sazon. I go through the packets like crazy! I will take 2 packets, olive oil, onions and cubed steak and marinate over night. Fry them up the next day and put them on hoagie rolls with guacamole and potato sticks! They are awesome!

I really like black beans and don’t know why. In and off themselves they are bland but I still like them for some reason

I use a copy cat El Pollo Loco black bean recipe. I'm heading out the door so don't have time to get it for you. There are several different versions out there so just pick one you like

My DH would say this, "Open the can, and make sure you pinch your nose really tight. That way you can avoid the putrid smell. Run over to the garbage can and dump the black beans out. "


I think black beans are good, but only order them when at a restaurant since no one else in my family will eat them.

I’m with him. They smell sooooo bad. Why is that?

I won’t eat them and I hate when my husband asks for them for his lunch. I usually make him rinse them before I go near them.
