I got my first recipe for Frijoles Negro Cubano 35 years ago in Havana Del Norte (Miami). The only change I made was to figure it for the crock pot.

Cuban Black Beans with Pork Shanks,I got my first recipe for “Frijoles Negro Cubano” 35 years ago in Havana Del Norte (Miami). The only change I made was to figure it for the crock pot.,These are nice for a change of pace — no one raved about them, but they were good. I made a huge batch and froze some for later. I think these will be great on a blustery day. Thanks for sharing.
