Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups Goya dried black beans (or canned pre-cooked)
3 cups long-grain white rice
1/4 cup olive oil, for sauteing
2 1/2 cups white onion, diced
2 1/2 cups green peppers, very small dice
4 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
1/2 cup sofrito
1/2 teaspoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
4 1/2 cups chicken stock
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cover the dry beans with water in a large pot. Do not salt the water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Use a large, 8-quart covered stockpot. Heat the olive oil and saute the onion and green pepper until tender. Add the garlic and sofrito and saute another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, black beans, oregano, cumin and bay leaf. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently.
  • Add the chicken stock and the rinsed rice. Season with plenty of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked.

I'm on a diet, so I used brown rice instead of white rice. The rice and beans were still very flavorful and satisfying.

I love that this recipe uses leftover rice. It's a great way to use up leftovers and save money.

I'm allergic to beans, so I used lentils instead. The rice and lentils were just as good as the traditional rice and beans.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from this recipe. The rice and beans were still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped bell pepper and corn to the rice and beans.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice and beans turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These rice and beans were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
