How to cook deliciously - Kiki's Borracho (Drunken) Beans

1 . Stage

Soak beans in a large pot of water, 8 hours to overnight.

2 . Stage

Drain beans, and refill the pot with chicken stock and enough water to cover beans with 2 inches of liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Stir beans occasionally throughout the entire cooking process to make sure they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.

3 . Stage

Stir tomatoes, beer, onion, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, garlic, oregano, and bay leaves into the beans. Continue to cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until beans are tender.

4 . Stage

With a potato masher, crush the beans slightly to thicken the bean liquid. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.
