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.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 (15 ounce) can black beans (undrained)
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 package sazon goya (without annato *see note)
1 tablespoon cooking wine or cider vinegar
2 cups cooked white rice

Directions

1
Heat oil in a medium sauce pan, sauté onion,green pepper, and garlic.
2
Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.
3
Add in remaining ingredients and stir until boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced@ 20 minutes.
4
Serve over white rice.
5
I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
6
Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be ground cumin, chicken bouillon, and garlic salt to taste.

Very good. Only a few comments: First, if you double the recipe you probably only want to add a cup of water or else it will take forever to simmer away. Second, I love to add mushrooms and roma tomatoes. Third, I love to add Cilantro and Jalapeno to give it a nice kick. Great food and cheap too!

The first time I had black beans and rice was at a Sal & Carvao in Chicago - it was VERY good. I then got on recipezaar and checked for bb&r recipes. I found over 4000. This was the first one I tried and I do NOT need to try any others! I used the cider vinegar, and instead of salzon goya, I used: 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chicken buillon, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp salt. I also increased the onion, green pepper, and garlic. Thank you for the recipe Dawn.

This recipe is very good and tasty! I wrote a review originally and I forgot to tell you how delicious it was. I, also, mentioned a way we use to serve it in Cuba, (BC)before Castro, we used to use very finely chopped onions on top with a drizzle of oil and vinegar. This makes a wonderful dish for a side as well as a main dish. Serve it with a nice salad and a warm loaf of bread and go to town. Thanks for posting Dawn, Diane
