Sofrito
Mexican beans
Instructions
  1. Rinse beans and then soak them overnight in a Dutch Oven. Make sure there is enough water to still cover the beans when they expand.
  2. The next day, strain water from the beans and then cover them again with fresh water. Boil until tender.
  3. In a small skillet, heat up olive oil and then add sofrito and cook in the oil until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the sofrito to the beans and salt to taste. Continue to cook the beans until some of the liquid has cooked off and the sofrito has infused the beans with flavor. Taste again to see if the seasoning is to your liking.
