I've loved cuban black beans and rice ever since I lived in Weehawken, New Jersey and ate at the Unica Cafe. This recipe takes some short cuts and uses a rice cooker, but I still think the results are delicious. Try this under any caribbean grilled meat, fish or stew and you won't be disappointed!

Ingredientes

Cost per serving $0.85 view details
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green pepper, finely chopped
  • 8 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano or 2 Tbsp minced, fresh oregano
  • 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups long grain rice (I used brown jasmine, or try white jasmine, basmati, etc.)
  • 4 cups water (approximately)

Direcciones

  1. In a pot or large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green pepper, cumin and oregano, and cook, stirring, for 6 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 2 more minutes. Add the black beans and stir for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
  2. Add the rice and water to your rice cooker (if your rice cooker has a water line for white or brown rice, just fill with water up to that line. Otherwise, just add approximately 3 1/2 to 4 cups water. Then, using a spatula, move the bean mixture from the pot into the rice cooker pan on top of the rice and water. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Cook the rice on the normal setting and serve when completed.

    This is a simple, healthy, and tasty alternative to a regular rice side. It goes well with any grilled meat, and with this easy recipe it's not much more work than making rice in a rice cooker.

              If you don't have a rice cooker, what is an alternative way to prepare this dish? I also enjoy good Cuban food and would love to make this.

                Hi Bon - great question. Please follow the same directions using a covered pot on the stove. Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer an cook for about 30 minutes. Check the rice at 25 minutes to see if there are small holes in the surface. If so, it is done. If not, put the cover back on and cook a little longer. It should definitely not take longer than 40 minutes. Enjoy!
