I know it’s been seven years but I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe. My mother’s side of the family are Cuban first generation immigrants and my grandfather used to make the best black beans. I never did get his recipe before he passed away a few years ago, and have been wanting to make them for some time now. The only thing I changed was to add a splash of red wine vinegar, but this recipe tastes so much like his did! It really brought me back to fine memories…Thank you again.

I like to Use a fatty pork belly instead of Chorizo. A trick that Abuelítas here in Miami use is to take out about 1-2 cups of the cooked black beans and ingredients and puree them, then add the paste back into the mix. It thickens it up. I personally like olives and fresh squeezed lime juice in my Frijoles as well.

I lived in Atlanta and had black bean soup from the Georgia and it was delicious, now I finally found a recipe that is like theirs. I am smiling big time. My beans are soaking right now. I don't have chorizo so I am using pan sausage(breakfast sausage). Thanks for sharing.
@TeamYELLOW174 жыл бұрын
I absolutely love this recipe. I loved that you used a wide variety of fresh vegetables and seasonings. I use double pork all the time ( chorizo plus sausage) and as soon as I saw that you sautéed the bacon and sausage together : 🤤. Then when you advised serving the beans the next day I was like “ ohhhhh, yes”.

Also, how much time would u suggest for the pressure cooker and at what temp (High), and how much liquid (water?) Chorizo (sp) is not a hit in this house so is there any substitute pork sausage that might work instead? I know know this is a lot to answer and i really appreciate it!!! Thanks!

This really depends on how much beans I'm making. When soaking the beans, I typically place them into a large bowl and add enough water to cover them completely so that it's totally submerged in water. I eyeball it until there's about 2-3 inches of water above the beans. I hope this helps!
