ONE-POT RICE AND BEANS



One-Pot Rice and Beans image

Not only is rice with beans adored the world over (see: gallo pinto, khichdi, hoppin' John and Caribbean rice and peas), it even has its own Wikipedia page. This deeply flavored rendition is inspired by these comforting traditions and a desire to wash as few dishes as possible: The rice cooks with the beans and the starchy liquid they're canned in. As the two ingredients cook together, the beans disperse and glom onto the rice. For an extra kick, sauté chopped jalapeño with the onions, or add 1/4 cup salsa with the stock.

CLASSIC BLACK BEANS AND RICE



Classic Black Beans and Rice image

This is a typical dish served in Cuba or Puerto Rico, each country has their own method of preparation. You can flavor this dish with meat, but I left it out as I serve it as a side dish with my meats. It is an easy and healthy short cut and takes about 30 minutes to cook.

1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 package sazon goya (without annato *see note)
1 tablespoon cooking wine or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 cups cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium sauce pan, sauté onion,green pepper, and garlic.
  • Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.
  • Add in remaining ingredients and stir until boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced@ 20 minutes.

  • I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
  • Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be ground cumin, chicken bouillon, and garlic salt to taste.
