x Tomatoes (3 big beefsteak or About 8 roma) x Cumin, coriander, oregano, Salt, pepper to taste x Olive oil Soak the beans overnight, then simmer until tender (1 to 2 hours) I tend to add some seaweed while cooking (dump in a bowl so you can use the bean pot for frying) roast the cumin in a frying pan (optional, but valuable) I used about 2 to 3 tsp chop onions and garlic, saute in oil chop peppers, saute with onion & garlic add chopped tomatoes, cook a until soft Add the beans, and some bean liquid Add the spices and cook for another hour or so
