Instructions

Step 1

Soak beans in cold water overnight. Drain and combine beans, 2 cups water, and stock in a large heavy pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Meanwhile, seed, stem, and finely chop jalapeño. Finely chop tomatoes, setting some aside for garnish. Finely mince garlic.

Step 3

Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the beans, lower the heat, add the chopped vegetables. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, adding more water if necessary. Check for tenderness and cook another 10 minutes if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Brown sausage on all sides in a heavy pan. Add 1⁄4 cup water, cover, lower the heat, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove lid and reduce any liquid left in the pan.

Step 5

To serve, divide the beans among four plates. Place one sausage atop each serving and garnish with chopped tomato and a little sour cream.
