Directions:

  1. Pick through the beans to remove any cruddy looking beans and non-bean material you may find. Soak them overnight (or at least 8 hours). Drain off the soaking water. (This is crucial to making flatulence-free beans!)
  2. Cover the beans with water or stock and cook, partially covered, until done – usually about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Check the water level every once in a while and add more water or stock as necessary. When they’re done, drain off any excess liquid and mash them with a potato masher.
  3. Heat the olive oil or bacon fat in a skillet. Add the onions, garlic, cumin, and salt and cook over low heat until the onions are translucent & fragrant. Add the green pepper, cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 5 – 10 minutes. Add the mashed beans to the skillet , and mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning to your taste. You can keep the beans warm in a medium oven until ready to serve. They also freeze well.
