- PREPARE BEANS: Soak the beans for at least two hrs (overnight is okay too). Change the water and bring to a boil. Add in the onion, pepper and garlic; cover and simmer for 1 hour.
- Add in the tomato sauce, extra virgin olive oil and salt: cover and simmer 1 more hour.
- (Be sure to keep the beans covered with liquid, adding more water if necessary.)
- PREPARE RICE: Bring the water to a boil. Add in the rice and salt. Cover and let simmer for 20 min.
- NOTES:* Beans like they cook in many Caribbean countries -
- my mother, who undoubtedly got it from one of my father's relatives. I've seen it described as being from various countries, but it will always be Puerto Rican beans to me.
- Any dry beans can be used, but kidney beans and navy beans are the best.
- Chick peas aren't bad either. You can use a ham bone for flavoring instead of the extra virgin olive oil if you do not mind using ham.
- Yield: Serves 4.
- * This makes a very good main course or possibly side dish.
- Difficulty: easy.
- Time: 2 hrs soaking, 5 min dicing, 2 hrs cooking.
- Precision: the rice is the only part you need to measure.
