4 cups dry black beans 1-tsp.
oregano 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper Wash black beans. Sauté onions and minced garlic in a little olive oil.
Combine the beans, water, onions, garlic and other spices in a large soup pot,
using a spice ball for the bay leaves, peppercorns, and whole cloves. If desired
you may use about a tsp. each of ground pepper and ground cloves instead of
whole and put them directly in the water with the other spices. Bring to boil
then reduce heat to low and cook until beans are tender, about 6-8 hours, 2-3
hours if you soak the beans overnight before using. You may use a pressure
cooker and reduce the cooking time to about 4 hours. When ready to serve squeeze
the juice of 1 orange in the soup and add olive oil to taste if desired. Serve
with cooked brown rice or cooked barley.
