    Cook the beans

    Put the drained beans in a pot with 1 litre of water, the garlic cloves, cumin, sweet paprika, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 50 minutes.

    Ready to continue when: The beans are very tender and break apart easily when pressed; the liquid has become broth-like and thick.
