- 2. Cook the beans over medium heat for 90 minutes, checking frequently to see that there is enough water in the pot. The water should always cover the beans.
- 3. Now to make the sofrito, you can either chop, use the blender or food procesor for the onion green pepper and garlic

- 4. Once the beans are tender, add the sofrito to the black beans, reducing the heat on the beans to low. Mix the sofrito well with the beans, pressing some of the beans with a slotted spoon so that the flavors will soak in. Add the salt and sugar to the beans and simmer for half an hour.
