Soak the black beans overnight in water, then drain.
Put the beans, onion, peppers, garlic, and bay leaf into the pot.
Add enough water to cover and bring to a boil.
Cook the beans over low heat for 80 minutes until tender.
Mash one ladle of beans and return it to the pot so the sauce thickens.
Add the vinegar and salt in the last 5 minutes and serve with rice.
💡 Tip: Soaking dried beans overnight in warm water cuts the cooking time nearly in half and also helps reduce their gassy effect.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the beans hot as a main plate with white rice on the side.
