- Soak the red beans for 12 hours.
- Change the water and cook them with a bay leaf for about 50 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
- Cut the bacon into medium squares.
- Place them in a pan without oil and remove them as soon as they start to brown.
- In the same pan, take advantage of the fat released from the bacon (add a splash of oil if necessary).
- Place the finely chopped onion in the pan and, once it becomes translucent, add the finely chopped garlic cloves. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the dressing has taken on color, add the peeled, seeded and diced tomatoes.
- Add the tomato paste and stir.
- Turn the heat down to low, cover and stir occasionally until the tomatoes have broken down.
- Add a pinch of oregano.
- To lower the acidity of the tomato, add a tablespoon of sugar.
- Add everything to the pot with the beans and stir.
- Add the previously browned bacon and mix.
- Let it cook for 10 minutes.
- Serve with rice and fried plantain.
