This has been my go-to for 10 years since she posted it, and it will forever be in go-to - they are PERFECT

[@yvettegiglio9642]

where did you get a printout recipe?

[@MrMauricio1947]

I would put the sofrito in a blender with the beans broth and few bean then I put it in the beans and it taste awesome.

[@missaleighleigh]

Nydia, gracias por todo!! I am with a Cuban man and he loooooves his mother's beans. I tried to make these once before and it was a complete disaster (we don't use many beans like this in Scandinavian cooking). Following your instruction was easy and resulted in very yummy beans! I will be making more of your videos and hope I can learn more Cuban cooking for our future family. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@sassylrhg]

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Thank you!!!

[@freelancelady]

Thank you Nydia. I did not know how to prepare black beans in the Cuban style. It seems much less complicated than I thought.

[@theasummerdeer]

My favorite! Black beans are good for the kidneys. I teach about that in my class, "Hidden Treasure: Kidney Essence & the Water Element" and share a Jamaican black bean soup recipe that is also on my Thea's Kitchen Blog. How wonderful to now make them from scratch. Can't wait to make a pot of black beans! Thank you Nydia.

[@Skoben2000]

I've cooked many of your recipes from your videos. just wanna say...Thanks for making these videos. I LOVE YOUR FOOD! :-)

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

+Skoben2000 Thank you!

[@matteosollecito2448]

Really excellent instructions here! I rinse the beans before soaking but once soaked I leave them in the soaking water as it’s full of incredibly healthy anthocyanins. Besides being very healthy, retaining the water keeps the color of the beans. They final product is blacker. When I throw out the soaking water I end up with beans that are a murky brown.

[@orilovesyou]

Muchas gracias Nydia Dios la bendiga!!!

[@joselinema]

Lemon is a good substitute for the white wine and the balsamic vinegar is to red wine.

[@marieshikoiants9743]

Lynn Love thank you for that tip. I hate regular vinegar and prefer lemon juice

[@clairechapin6901]

This is authentic Cuban. You can use whatever you prefer. I personally use olives with their juice. Yes, I am Cuban. Have my own style. This is a great recipe. Thank you Nydia.

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Any dry white wine that you like. Used red vinegar but white works as well.

[@knelle4441]

Un saludo desde Francia! Vengo de hacer vuestra receta ...y esta super rica! La recomiendo. He añadido pimienta de cayena.. Muchas gracias

[@luxnatsoap]

Takes me back to my child hood days.

[@madelyn3073]

Hi Nydia! Just finished these beans for dinner and they came out incredible. I think the vinegar had something to do with it cause I had used the regular white one but the apple cider gave it a nice touch. Every time I try one of your recipes we all love it! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

***** Hola Madelin! Really proud of you!! I'm glad everyone liked your beans.. thanks a lot and have a wonderful Xmas!

[@mailac2070]

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Yes.. and they taste really good!.. thanks :)Nydia

[@lizzv5645]

I love your videos. Us that cooking wine that you are using?

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

No.. I do not like using cooking wine.. I try to always use any regular drinking wine that I have available in the house.. (gives it a better taste)

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Hi Prami. More is coming soon!!

[@jg1552g]

Nydia!!! We miss you! We love your recipes. I hope you come back soon.

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Thank you!

[@HtS643KyS6555GxQ3edA]

Is there a good substitute for the sugar?

[@almagonzalez5179]

I love your videos, what kind of vinegar is that??

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Hi Alma! Regular apple vinegar. Thank you for viewing!!!

[@yvettegiglio9642]

where can I get a print out recipe?

[@jennifernorton6202]

What kind of vinegar or does it matter?

[@Rembrandt133]

Nydia nice recipe. I will try it. But for a quick and delicious black beans Cuban style, I buy El Ebro in a can, yes, they are amazing. I add a few spices and other goodies and it tastes amazing! P.S. try it with some tabasco...yum.

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Rembrandt133 Oh dear.. ditto here.. I don't always have time to make them fresh.. little olive oil, and few spices and dinner is ready! LOL Nydia

[@michelle28779]

can u give me a brake down of how much and what everything is that u used i have made mamy cuban beans but none of them was good enough so im hopibg your recipe is better and can make me smile lol thanks again for replying to my questions

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Hola LazaroMy recipe is good..but I'm sure your mom's is better.. nothing taste like mom food .. saludos y suerte!! Nydia :)

[@nbrace-tl8ku]

Nydia, how much water?

[@zadiez1]

Graciaspor esa receta tan rica! Tienes video de rabo encendido or cola de res???

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

+zadiez1 Hola.. No tengo el Rabo encendido.. pero trata en Pekis Kitchen aqui mismo en KZbin.. yo creo que ella lo tiene.. gracias.

[@onecrowesorrow]

Hi, I love your videos. I have had these beans in Cuba and have been looking for a good recipe. This one looks perfect. Can I use something to replace the dry cooking wine? Any suggestions? Thank you :)

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

onecrowesorrow I usually replace it with regular white wine..or sometimes even cherry wine but.. you don't have to add wine if you wish.. thanks a lot!!!

[@onecrowesorrow]

Thank you! I will try it without the wine. :)

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Thea los cubanos also puree the beans once done and eat them like a soup. The belief is that puree form is easier for the digestive system to breakdown & process the bean skin.

[@lauriefavero7445]

Hi there, just made this and my sauce wasn't too thick. What did I do wrong?

[@Ale-wy7dh]

Gracias por la receta.... puedo usar vino tinto? bendiciones

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

+Ale El vino tinto le cambia un poco el sabor tradicional.. prefiero el vino seco.. gracias.

[@avilio42]

Hola nydia, just finished making the black beans, only difference was I used a pressure cooker to soften the beans. Question how much water should I pour out before I add the sofrito??

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

when using a pressure cooker you do not need to pour out the water.. you can use the same water and add the sofrito

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Hi Mai! No I don't. I have a full time job. In the little time left I make the videos. Thank you for asking!!!!!

[@CLARA3952]

do you have a video for congri...thank u

[@NydiasMiamiKitchen]

Not yet.. but soon I will make it. Nydia
