Rose's Brazilian Black Beans
1 lb dried black beans, soaked for at least 1/2 hour
1 Tbs olive oil
3 strips of bacon or salted pork, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large bay leaf
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 package of Kielbasa Sausage, 1/2" slices
water
salt and pepper to taste
TIP: If using a pressure cooker, beans don't have to be soaked for more than 1/2 hour. But if you choose to use some other pot instead of pressure cooker, the beans need to be soaked at least 3 hours, prefferably overnight. Rinse beans prior to soaking. You may use the bean water to cook with if you want your beans really black. If not, just drain the soaked water and add fresh water to the pot when needed.
COOKING METHOD:
In a pressure cooker add the oil and bacon/salted pork, let it render its juices :)
Add sausage cut in 1/2" slices
Add onions and garlic, sautee for 2 to 3 minutes
Add bay leaf and rinsed black beans
Add water to cover beans about TWO fingers above the beans: Be careful not to add too much or too little water. Too much water will give you runny beans and too little may scortch the beans as it is cooking.
Cover the pressure cooker and let it cook for at least 1/2 hour before opening to check doneness.
TIP: the longer the beans are soaked in water the faster the cooking process :)
Add salt and pepper at the end of cooking process. Adding the salt before the beans are cooked may prolong the cooking process because the salt hardens the beans a little.
Serve it with a fresh batch of white brazilian rice(recipe is on the blog as well)

Hello everyone! Welcome to my cooking blog. The following is a little background info from yours truly. Hope all the recipes and comments in here will help you feel more confident in practicing your cooking and relationship skills. Cooking is the easiest way to bond with one another because eating is a need we all share as human beings. When we take time to cook for those we love it makes us feel great about ourselves.
Now, I know that everyone is super busy with life and other responsibiliites, even I, who love to cook can't seem to find the time to do so everyday. But, there is no better time to change our way of thinking than today! We can prioritize and organize ourselves to make quick and yummy meals for our our families and friends. If you have any tips and suggestions, blog them along! This is our time to have fun and enjoy our lives by eating healthy and delicous meals with those we love!
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where I lived for 15 years. On September 1988, my family moved to America in search of the "American Dream". I am now married to my dear husband, Tom, with a blended family of 6 children. They keep us pretty busy. Life has been interesting thus far. I was once told by a wise man that if I were to share my talents with those around me, I would find happiness and joy in my life. So, here I am willing to share this awesome talent with all my friends around the world.
Enjoy!
