directions

Step 1

Soak beans overnight in water. Drain.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium stockpot on medium heat.

Step 3

Add the green peppers, celery, sausage and garlic.

Step 4

Saute until the vegetables are soft and the sausage starts to brown, about 6 minutes.

Step 5

Add the beans, the chicken broth, and enough water to cover by 2-inches.

Step 6

“Stab” the bay leaf onto the side of the peeled onion with the clove and put it in the pot.

Step 7

Bring the liquid in the pot to a simmer and cook for about 1 hour or until the beans are soft.

Step 8

Drain excess liquid and discard the onion studded with the clove and bay leaf.

Step 9

Stir in the sherry, orange juice, olive oil and vinegar and simmer 10 minutes.

Step 10

Smash some of the beans against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon to give a smoother consistency.
