Bobby Flay'S Honey Rum Baked Black Beans

• 1 lb dried black beans, picked over (or substitute 5 1/2 cups drained canned black beans)
• 1/2 lb chorizo sausage, coarsely diced
• 1 small Spanish onion, diced fine
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced fine
• 1 cup dark rum
• 1/4 cup honey
• salt and pepper
• 3 cups chicken stock or 3 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

1. If using dried beans, place in a large pot with cold water to cover and let stand for 8 hours or overnight. Drain the beans and again add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain and reserve.
2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
3. In a saute pan over medium-high heat, saute the chorizo until it is brown and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the pan and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot and sweat until the onion is translucent and tender, about 4 minutes.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the chorizo mixture with the beans, rum, and honey and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a casserole or baking dish, add the stock, and cover.
5. Bake the beans 20 minutes. Check to see if the mixture is dry and add water or stock if needed. Continue baking, covered, another 25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and fold in the cilantro. Serve immediately.
