Ingredients

1/2 pound chorizo sausage, diced
1 large Spanish onion, finely diced
1 large carrot, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound black beans, soaked, cooked until tender and drained well
1 cup dark rum
1/8 cup honey, or more to taste
1/8 cup molasses, or more to taste
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 to 5 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Cook sausage in a medium saute pan until golden brown and fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the onion and carrot to the pan and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Place the beans in a large bowl, stir in the cooked onion mixture, rum, honey, molasses, sugar, and cooked chorizo. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the mixture to a casserole or baking dish and pour 3 cups of the stock over. Bake the beans, covered, for 20 minutes. Check to see if the mixture is dry and add more stock, if needed. Continue baking an additional 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven, and fold in the cilantro, if using. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Best Beans Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this recipe! I've made this twice and its great both times. I did substitute prosciutto instead and it was... wonderful. You do have to let the liquid cook but it doesn't really take that long and I did used canned beans for a time saver. I think I could make this every week!! Read more

Too much liquid!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I only used 3 cups of stock and it still way too soupy. Also too much rum flavor here. Wouldn't do this receipe again.

It Must be the canned beans
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I too used canned beans (the best brand in the store) and even though I washed and drained them they still had that taste... perserved tased so common with canned beans. I agree there is way too much liquid...I cooked the beans longer than recommended to try and reduce the liquid without much luck. It turned out more like bean soup. I'm not a big user of chorizo and it just didn't give the dish as much flavor as I expected. Sorry but this one is a dud.Read more

This was a no go!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Sorry Bobby I wasn't you. I swear that i followed this recipe to the "T" except for using canned beans. There was nothing... good about this at all. I did what others recommended reducing the liquid but it still was way to runny. To many onions and carrots. Took one bite and threw the rest away.Read more

Good flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Because we decided to have this right before going shopping, we used canned beans. Those did not absorb much liquid, so even... taking other reviewers' advice to reduce the liquid, they were still soupy for some time. I think next time, I will either use dried or if I use canned, I will put in a total of 1 1/2 cups of liquid--rum and stock mixed.Read more
