    I'm not sure if this is a cuban-style recipe but it's pretty much how I make small pink beans (minus the potatoes)

    Saute EVOO, minced garlic, sofrito, 1/2 paket of sazon, 1/2 packet of ham seasoning.  Add can of black beans 1/2 cup of water, stir, and simmer.

    Maybe it's the gringo in me but in this recipe and Jackie's garbanzo beans you use sofrito.  What in the world is that?

    Sofrito is a sauce you make to add flavor to a meal.  Very common in Cuban kitchen!  Very easy to make.  Saute onions, add tomato sauce, green peppers, and a package of seasoning (i.e., Sason Accent - that is the brand).  HTH!

    Or you can do what I do - buy it from Publix. already made.  Sofrito can be found either in the ethnic freezer section or by the olives and pimientos.  :-)

    It's a base...we use it in EVERYTHING!!

    You ladies rock!  Thank you!  We love Cuban food but settle for canned beans or our local restaurant.  Maybe now we can have the best of both worlds!
