Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb dried black beans
1 cup chopped onion
water
1 beef bouillon cube
1 lb ham , cut into pieces
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp dried leaf thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp salt , if desired (optional)
1/2 large jalapeno pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 cups brown rice
water
1 cup chopped green pepper

Directions:

Quick soak beans by bringing beans and water for soaking to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, Remove from heat and cover the pot. Let the beans stand in the soak water for 1 hour.Drain the soak water.
I find that the beans will not get soft if you add anything to them. I put the beans in a pressure cooker and cook for 3 minutes. Let if cool until the top can be removed. Add onion, bouillon cube, ham, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, salt, jalapeno, and cayenne. Cook and simmer 10 minutes. Add green pepper and cook another 5 minutes.
Serve over rice and top with crumbled cheese.
