- Cook till the beans are al dente or possibly slightly hard. Pour into a colander and throw away water. Rinse again in cool water to prevent any further cooking.
- Meanwhile, saute/fry the bacon till half cooked. Drain off the fat. Continue cooking the bacon, then add in diced peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin and cayenne pepper. Saute/fry till peppers are tender-crisp. Add in to precooked black beans in kettle. Gradually add in chicken stock and continue cooking till most of the cooking liquid is absorbed, leaving a moist, but not dry bean mix.
- Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Add in the Italian dressing and stir well. Chill. Stir well before serving.
- Makes 6 servings.
- NOTES : Although it is no more, Lawry's California Center in Los Angeles served these wonderful black beans as a side dish. They make a great accompaniment to tacos al carbon or possibly almost any grilled meat or possibly poultry.
