Instructions

  1. In large pot, soak beans overnight in water; drain off the soaking water; cover with fresh water; boil 1 – 1 ½ hours.

  2. Either transfer the beans and 2-3 cups of the cooking liquid to another large pot, or drain all but 2-3 cups of the liquid off of the beans.

  3. In a frying pan, sauté the garlic, onion, bell pepper, cumin, basil, oregano, red pepper, lime, salt & pepper until the bell pepper is soft. Add to the beans in the pot.

  4. Add the tomato puree & canned chilies in the pot and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes

NOTE
** If the thought of spending a lot of time soaking dried beans doesn’t sound good, then go ahead and use the canned ones and substitute in the recipe after the step 1.
