Instructions

  1. In a small pan, heat olive oil until shimmery.
  2. Add shallot and cook to soft, stirring frequently to prevent burning, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, and cook to fragrant - about 40 seconds.
  4. Add sofrito, bay leaf, chiles, oregano, and stock or beer, stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, a pinch or two of each.
  5. Add beans and toss to mix well.
  6. Cook to reduce liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent beans from burning, about 10 minutes, until liquid is thickened and mostly reduced.
  7. Add any salt and pepper, to taste, as needed.
  8. Remove bay leaf and chiles before serving.

Notes

  • Can add chorizo, ham, bacon for a meaty flavor.
  • Great in tacos, Huevos Rancheros, stews, and more.
