cuban red beans
Cuban Red Beans
Serves 8 as a side dish
Cooking time: 45 minutes (inactive time)
Ingredients
28 oz kidney beans (2 cans OR 4 cups of your fresh red beans)
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1 onion, diced (white, yellow, red, whatever you like)
1/2 cup vegetable stock (use chicken stock if you don't have vegetarians)
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire (leave out to keep it vegetarian/vegan)
1 tbsp dried cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
juice of 1 lime
Directions
In a large saute pan, saute the onion in a little olive oil (about 1 tbsp). Once the onions are soft, add the garlic. Saute for about 30 seconds then add the remaining ingredients.
Cook over high heat until it boils, then lower the heat to low and simmer for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may need to cook it longer if it is reducing enough. The liquid should reduce and the consistency will be similar to a chili. Serve with a side of rice, and garnish with cilantro.
