ingredients

  • 1 pound dry black beans
  • 9 cup water
  • 1 1/2 serving Carmel Kosher Chicken Broth
  • 1 can or bottle beer
  • 8 fl oz rum
  • 8 clove garlic clove(s)
  • 3 Tbsp cilantro
  • 2 cup onion(s)
  • 2 cup bell pepper(s)
  • 2 large carrot(s)
  • 2 large stalk celery
  • 14 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper(s)

directions

  • 1

    Soak beans overnight with about 1 tablespoon baking soda. Drain and rinse well.

  • 2

    Combine beans, water, bouillon powder (or 2 vegetable bouillon cubes), juice from canned tomatoes, beer, rum (use dark rum for best results), one chopped onion, salt and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro in large stockpot. Cook 2 hours over medium heat, or until beans are soft. Meanwhile, sauté 1 chopped onion, chopped bell peppers, carrots and celery in cooking spray. Set aside.

  • 3

    Puree half of each of these mixtures, along with tomatoes. Add remaining ingredients and cook 15 - 30 more minutes. You may also need to add some vinegar (I use malt vinegar, but apple cider vinegar would also work).
