1 pound dried black beans
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium onions, chopped
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 green onions with green tops, chopped, for garnish
Rinse and presoak the beans in water to cover overnight or use the quick cook method on the package. Drain. Put 2 quarts of water, the soaked beans and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil; cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours. Heat the oil in a skillet; add the onions and saute about 5 minutes. Add the green pepper and saute 5 minutes longer. Add the onion mixture and all the remaining ingredients except the green onion garnish to the beans; simmer 1 hour more, stirring occasionally. Top with chopped green onions at serving time. 8 servings.
