Default Clara's Cuban Black Beans

I was asked about a Cuban Black Bean recipe and thought I would post here for all.
My wife makes the most killer Cuban Black Beans ever.

1 bag of Goya (or any brand if not available) black beans
1 Midsize Spanish Onion - diced
1 Bell Pepper - diced
2 Bay Leaves
3 Garlic Cloves - minced
2 Tablespoons of Cumin
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons of Oregano
1/2 Cup oil (Mazola)
4 Tablespoons Tomato Sauce
Salt to taste
Optional but totally recommended: 1/4 cup of White Spanish Cooking Wine

Wash beans and rinse. Put in pressure cooker with water, half way up. Cook for 20 minutes on medium flame.

In a separate small pot or pan, saute all ingredients, except Bay Leaves. Add to beans and add Bay Leaves also.

Cook for another 20 minutes or more (low flame) depending on consistency - not too watery and not too dry.

Serve as soup or over white rice.

Enjoy!
