Notes

# Soak black beans in a large bowl filled with cold water for at least six hours or overnight. After soaking, rinse them well, then drain the excess water.
 
If you opt for canned black beans instead of dried ones, be cautious with the cooking time to prevent the beans from getting mushy. A single whistle on high heat is usually sufficient to cook the beans to the desired consistency.
