A Cuban friend gave me this recipe and I adapted it to a pressure
cooker (I also removed all references to olive oil).

                           CUBAN BLACK BEANS  <T>


2   cups black beans
5   cups water

Put cleaned, washed beans in a 4 to 6 qt. pressure cooker.  Boil
beans for 2 minutes; turn heat off, cover beans and let sit for 1
hours.

Add the following ingredients:

1   or  2 bell peppers, chopped
l   large onion, chopped
4   cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp pepper
    salt or to taste
1   tsp oregano
1   bay leaf
2   tbsp sugar

Cook at 15 lbs pressure for 25 to 30 min.   Open cooker when the
indicator has dropped down.

Remove about 1/2 to 1 cup of the beans and mash; return to pot and add
the following ingredients:

2   tbsp vinegar
2   tbsp red wine (cooking wine ok)

Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 min.

Serve over white rice.
