The beans are first soaked (often overnight), then boiled until tender and drained, and the rest of the ingredients are added. The aromatics are sautéed to make a sofrito and mixed with the beans. Then the beans are baked until the top layer of the dish is browned. The dish may be served at room temperature or warm.
