      Title: Gourmet Black Beans
 Categories: Beans
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
    1/2 lb Dry black beans
    1/4 c  Olive oil
      1 lg Onion; chopped
      4 oz Jar pimientos
           Salt; to taste
      2 tb La Vin (A brand of cooking
           - wine)
    1/8 ts Oregano
    1/2 tb Sugar
 
  Soak beans in 4 cups cold water for 1 hour. Drain. Gently cook beans
  in 4 cups water until tender. Add more hot water if necessaiy. Drain
  beans, reserving liquid. Saute onion in hot oil, add pimientos and
  continue cooking for a few seconds. Pour in beans and season with
  salt, wine, oregano, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat until creamy.
  Add bean liquid or water if necessary.
  
  Comments:
  
  * "Until tender" takes about 2-1/2 hours. * Since I'm on a very low
  sodium diet, I use a white wine instead of the cooking wine (cooking
  wine has salt added), and use a salt substitute instead of the salt.
  I prefer salt substitutes that aren't bitter; these all seem to have
  tricalcium phosphate on the ingredients list, in addition to the
  usual potassium chloride. * This recipe can be pressure canned--75
  minutes at 10 lb for pint and smaller jars, hot pack, 1" headspace,
  after cooking as usual.
