Напрямки

For dried beans:

Pour beans into a colander and rinse under cold water. Pick through beans and discard any broken beans and debris. Transfer to a large, heavy-bottomed pot.

To soak overnight (optional): cover beans with 4” of cold water and place in the refrigerator and let soak overnight, or up to 12 hours. Drain beans and return to pot.

Add enough cold water to your pot to cover your beans by 2”. Add bacon, onion, oregano, and bay leaf. Bring the beans up to a rolling boil, and let boil on high for 10 minutes before reducing to a simmer. Stir in cumin and paprika and cover, with the lid ajar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, 1 to 2 hours, depending on how long the beans were soaked.

When beans are tender, remove onion, oregano, and bay leaf. Remove bacon, coarsely chop, and return to pot. Season beans to taste with salt and serve.

For canned beans:

In a large, high-sided skillet or medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add bacon and onion and cook until onion is translucent and bacon is beginning to crisp, 6 minutes.

Add cumin and smoked paprika and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add beans and chicken broth or water and stir to combine, scraping any burnt pits from the bottom of your skillet. Stir oregano into the beans.

Bring mixture up to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, adding more broth or water ¼ cup at a time if pan is looking dry.

Before serving, remove oregano stems and season to taste with salt.
