- In a medium stockpot, combine soaked beans (see Note), water, onion, green pepper, garlic, bay leaves, salt, cumin and oregano. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally and add water as necessary so that the beans don't dry out or scorch.
- When beans are tender, stir in wine, vinegar and olive oil.
Note:
If you don't have time to soak the black beans overnight, use the quick-soak method: bring beans and water to the boil. Turn off heat and allow to stand for 1 hour before proceeding with recipe.

Very good. I cooked it about an hour longer and then blended it into a paste. Great on tostidos. - 04 Aug 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I love this recipe! but I make it with organic canned beans, apple cider Vinegar and add a little chicken base or vegetable base for a more robust flavor. - 16 Jul 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I have made these many times. They are tasty and freeze well. I do add a few more spices for some kick though. - 22 May 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
