These are my go-to Cuban Style Black Beans when I want a quick side dish from canned beans to go with rice and steak, pernil, chicken and more. Chop onion, garlic, scallions, red pepper, and cilantro in a mini chopper of food processor. Add oil to a medium-sized pot on medium heat. Add vegetables to the pot and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.
Quick Cuban black beans are a staple in my house. I have a recipe that I use for special occasions for black beans from scratch but I don’t always have time to soak beans overnight. These black beans are a quick and easy version of Cuban black beans that still taste amazing and cut down on some time!
Cuban black beans are moist – not soupy – but they should have a thick liquid sauce. The sauté of onions, peppers, and garlic (called "sofrito" in Cuban cooking) is what adds flavor to black beans and many other Cuban dishes. Traditional Cuban black beans are made with green peppers. We usually saute no less than 5 minutes.
YUMMY keto black bean brownies. Yes, I said black beans – I know that black beans are not keto friendly but I have found black beans that are keto and low carb. You must only use these canned black beans and NOT regular black beans.
