Black Beans and Sour Cream

"This is an exceptional recipe! I don't like black beans... well, I thought I didn't like black beans, until I made this recipe. Wow! I love black beans! This is a recipe from "The New James Beard", with quantities cut in half for a serving of 6 people, instead of the original 12. I hope you like it! (Preparation time includes preparing from dry black beans)"

  • Put the beans in a pan with water to cover by 1".
  • Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 1 hour.
  • Add the onions, bay leaf, thyme, celery and parsley.
  • Add ham bone or substitute diced salt pork, olive oil or bacon fat, as above.
  • Cook (simmer) until the beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Add salt to taste and a small dash of Tabasco Sauce.
  • Discard bay leaf, vegetables and ham bone.
  • Put the beans and their liquid in a casserole, add the rum, correct the seasoning, and bake at 350F until well heated; about 20 minutes.

  • Enjoy!
