Steps:
- Soak beans overnight to soften and remove any small hard stones. The next day, strain and rinse soaked beans with fresh water.
- To cook beans, place in a large pot and add enough water to cover the beans by two inches. Carefully smash whole garlic cloves with the back of a knife and add to the pot of beans along with 2 of the bay leaves.
- Bring the pot to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until tender (90 minutes or up to two hours.) Set aside once cooked.
- Next, in a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté onions, peppers, and garlic. Add spices (salt through cayenne) and continue stirring until vegetables have softened, 4-6 minutes.
- Rince rice in a strainer until the water comes out clear
- Stir in rinsed (uncooked) rice and sauté for 2 minutes so that the rice starts to toast and lightly brown.
- Pour in chicken broth and add reserved, cooked black beans along with bay leaves. Stir once then bring to a boil. Stir a second time then reduce heat to low and place a tightly fitting lid on the pot. Cook until liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Use a fork to loosen the rice and bean mixture then serve with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Steps:
- Place flank steak, carrots, celery, quartered onion, 2 cloves garlic,1/2 teaspoon oregano, bay leaves, 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large stock pot. Cover with water, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the meat from the stock and allow to cool. Strain stock, discard vegetables and bay leaves and reserve broth for later use. Cut meat into 2-inch cubes. Shred it by hand or use two forks to pull meat into strings and reserve.
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Slice remaining onion into 1/4-inch strips. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add red and green peppers, sliced onion and a 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until nearly softened, about 8 minutes. Add remaining garlic and continue cooking until tender, another 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of reserved broth, along with tomatoes, tomato paste, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon of cumin, peas and olives. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add beef to pan, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Return to a simmer. Remove from heat, and cover to keep warm.
- While sauce is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until they're fragrant (about a minute). Add the rice and cook, stirring to coat for a minute before adding chicken broth. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, season with salt and fluff with a fork.
- Place beans in a medium bowl. Add lime juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Season with salt, and mash lightly with a fork or muddler.
- Spray an 8- by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Line the bottom with 3 overlapping tortillas to form a bottom crust. Spread with black beans, followed by layers of beef mixture and rice. Top with another overlapping layer of 3 tortillas. Scatter with cheese and transfer to the oven to cook until casserole is warmed through and cheese is bubbly and browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Cut 1 green pepper into 1-inch squares. Smash and peel 4 of the garlic cloves. Put the green pepper and garlic into a large pot with the beans, ham hock, bay leaves and 1 tablespoon salt. Add 2 quarts water and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer until the beans are tender, an hour or more.
- Meanwhile, make a sofrito. Cut the remaining ½ green pepper into ¼-inch dice. Peel and finely chop the remaining garlic. Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the green pepper and onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeño (leave out the seeds if you don't want it too spicy), oregano, cumin, black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt and stir for another minute. Pour in the vinegar and scrape any browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. This is your sofrito.
- When the beans are cooked, discard the bay leaf. Remove and set aside the ham hock and let it cool. Transfer 1 cup of beans to small bowl, mash them into a paste with the back of a fork and return to the pot. Add the sofrito, then the sugar. Pull the meat from the ham hock, leaving behind any white sinew or gristle. Chop the ham into ½-inch pieces and return it to the bean pot.
- Stir the beans well and bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes or so, skimming any foam from the top. Taste for salt and serve with white rice.

Steps:
- Pick over the beans carefully to remove any foreign particles. Rinse well in several changes of cold water.
- Put the beans in a bowl with the six cups of cold water. Cover and let stand overnight.
- Drain the beans, reserving the water in which they soaked. Measure the water and add enough additional water to make eight cups.
- Place the beans, water and ham hocks in a small kettle or large saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook slowly, uncovered, skimming the surface as necessary to remove any foam. The beans should cook until tender, four to six hours.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet and add the onions and green peppers. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is wilted. Add the garlic and cook briefly, stirring. After the beans have cooked about two hours, add the mixture to the beans. Add the bay leaves, pepper flakes, vinegar, salt and pepper.
- When the beans are almost tender, uncover and continue cooking 30 minutes.
- Remove the ham hocks. When they are cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin, fat, bones and gristle. Shred the meat and return it to the beans. Remove the bay leaves. Add the cayenne pepper and Tabasco.
- This dish improves if cooked one day in advance. When ready to serve, heat the bean mixture thoroughly. Just before serving, stir in the rum. Serve with rice on the side or spoon a portion of the bean mixture over individual servings of rice. Add the onions according to taste.
