Chef's Note: For the most authentic flavor, use homemade sofrito. A simple recipe typically includes cilantro, onions, garlic, peppers, and culantro, all finely chopped and blended. For a richer flavor, consider adding a ham hock or smoked turkey wing while simmering. Remove before serving. Adjust the amount of vegetable broth to achieve your preferred sauce consistency. Some prefer a thicker, stew-like consistency, while others enjoy a slightly thinner sauce. These beans are even more flavorful the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
