Description:
Time: 24 hr 45 min (24 hr to prepare, 45 min to cook)
Meal type: Side Dish
Ethnicity:
Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients:
16 ounces black beans, dried, washed and soaked 8-24 hours in cold water
1/4 cup olive oil
1  yellow onion, diced
1  red onion, diced
1  Anaheim pepper, seeded and sliced
12 clove garlic
2 tablespoons oregano
1  chipotle pepper in abodo sauce
10  roasted or smoked tomatoes, peeled
24 ounces Porter or bock-style beer
4 1/2 cups water, filtered
Directions:
Wash the dried beans and remove any broken beans. Add beans to a medium-size container and cover with cold water and soak for 8-24 hours. The fresher the beans, the faster the soak.

In a large pot over medium heat, add oil, onions and peppers. Saute until the onions and peppers are soft. Add garlic, oregano and chipotle peppers, cooking for another minute. Add tomatoes and deglaze with the beer. Scrape pot to remove any bits of food, then top the beans off with water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 45 minutes, stirring every once in a while.

If beans are becomming dry, add 1/4 cup water to make sure they don't scorch. The beans are done when they are tender (not falling apart), and some liquid is still visible. Season with salt to taste.
