3. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 3-4 hours or until beans are very tender. Stir occasionally and add water if needed.
4. Remove about 1/3 of the beans, mash and return to pot. Stir and heat through.
5. Remove bay leaves and stir in vinegar or lemon juice when ready to serve.
6. Serve over rice. Garnish with sliced pimento and lemon wedges.
