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.

SO good! So much flavor... and goes perfect over rice! We didn't use green onion because we didnt have any... We also substituted Italian Seasoning for oregano because we were out of that... We used the recomended substitution for sazon goya.. Also didnt have cooking wine or cider vinegar... Threw in a splash of red wine instead and it was so tasty!! Served this recipe with pork butt steaks... A delicious and inexpensive dinner! Thank You!

Holy Moly this was delicious!! I cannot wait to make these again. I didn't have any garlic or green pepper, so I used a whole seeded jalapeno instead. It was really spicy but I love spicy!! I also had to use the substitutions instead of the goya and I forgot to add the wine. Still - it turned out perfect and the taste was really really good. It also smelled so great while simmering, it made us so hungry. I served it along side some spicy grilled chicken that I made and it was a fabulous, easy meal. Thanks!

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
