Preparation

  1. In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add both onions, the garlic, the red pepper and the chili pepper, stir and cook for 7 minutes, or until soft.
  2. Add the tomato puree and stir. Add the soaked and drained beans. Add cold water to barely cover the beans, stir, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beans are tender. Check frequently to make sure that the cooking beans never become completely dry and at risk for scorching. Add salt, pepper and chili pepper sauce to taste. Serve with plain boiled white rice.
