Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil and sauté onion, garlic, green pepper, and bay leaves until onion is lightly browned. Add oregano, cumin, 2 tbs of the vinegar, and reserved bean broth. Simmer until onion and pepper are soft. Shortly before serving, add drained beans, hot pepper sauce, honey, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Serve over rice topped with some green onions. Combine 1/2 cup olive oil with 1/4 cup wine vinegar and a pinch of salt in a covered jar. Shake well and spoon a little over each serving.
