Original recipe serves 4. Current scale: 1x.
This is a typical dish served in Cuba or Puerto Rico, each country has their own method of preparation. You can flavor this dish with meat, but I left it out as I serve it as a side dish with my meats. It is an easy and healthy short cut and takes about 30 minutes to cook.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (undrained)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar

- 1 tablespoon cooking wine or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
Heat oil in a medium sauce pan, sauté onion,green pepper, and garlic.
Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.
Add in remaining ingredients and stir until boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced@ 20 minutes.
Serve over white rice.
I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be ground cumin, chicken bouillon, and garlic salt to taste.
