The Cuban Black Beans were really good. I cooked my beans in a pressure cooker first and then added everything else and cooked it an hour longer. Beans take FOREVER to cook up at this elevation unless you use a pressure cooker.

Sausage and Sauerkraut Stew:
4 1/2 cups water
4 medium red potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced 1/4-inch thick
16 oz purchased sauerkraut
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 cup sour cream

In stockpot, combine water, potatoes, and salt. Heat to boiling. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add sausage, sauerkraut with juice, onion, garlic, dill, and caraway. Simmer until onion is soft, about 10 minutes. Just before serving, remove 1 cup soup to small bowl. Stir in sour cream and return to soup. Heat thoroughly. Do not boil. Serve immediately.
