Quick Cuban Style Black Beans

Step 1

Add the black beans with the liquid (do not drain) to a saucepan.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, salt, pepper and cumin to the saucepan. Stir well until combined.

Step 3

Cover the saucepan and bring the black beans to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 4

When they start to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.

Step 5

Keep the beans at a simmer, lower the heat if necessary. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan, especially as they thicken.

Step 6

Serve the beans with white rice and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
