Ingredients
- 1 pound dry black beans (I usually sprout them first)
- 8 cups filtered water
- 2 cups beef, venison, chicken, or veggie stock
- 1 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup olive oil

- 2 teaspoons evaporated cane juice (optional)
- 1/4 pound leftover beef or venison, shredded or chopped (optional)
Instructions
Soak beans overnight or at least 8 hours (I usually soak mine for at least 24 hours). Rinse well and place in stock pot.
Add water, stock, wine, oil, pepper and spices. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer.
Simmer covered for 3-4 hours, or until beans reach desired tenderness, adding water if necessary.
Add vinegar and meat and sugar, if using. Heat through.
Serve over rice.
Note
This meal taste even better as a left-over!
