Cuban Black Beans and Rice

Absolutely delicious.... thanks a lot
1st time making it and turn out so delicious ❤❤❤

So when make white rice I let it boil on high till the water is gone then put it to low, Insee you put it on low right away why ?

Can you use coconut water

I’m curious to know what those spices are.

What a wonderful looking recipe. Thanks for sharing!

When I was a kid I wouldn't eat anything. My next door neighbor who was Cuban, used to make this a few times a week. It was one of the only things I would eat. I used to knock on his door every time he made it because I could smell it. It got to the point that when he made it he would leave the door open with a note for me to come on in. I absolutely loved this stuff! My neighbor never had an issue with me showing up. He loved that I liked his cooking. He even started to make other Cuban dishes for me. Gosh I miss him. He was one of the kindest people I've ever known.

One of my coworkers was Cuban, and he made us a congri with just rice and a can of seasoned black beans. You just cook the beans and rice together with the liquid in the can, maybe only add a little bit more water. Delicious and so easy.

What is in the spices?

Just made this! It is so good and bursting with flavour ! Loved how easy it was to make as well.

I usually use chicken broth for many recipes instead of water for even more flavor depth. Do you ever use chicken broth instead of water, or would that change the flavor too much?

Wow. Made this amazing

Thank you very much!

It was soooo good! I actually made it with brown rice and simply cooked it longer, it turned out great. Thank you!😊

Are you using cooked rice or uncooked rice?

Hello Rosie I’m going to try this myself at home. Cuban food is amazing and flavorful 🇨🇺🙂

My grandmother who was from El Salvador would call this dish,CASAMIENTO.thanks for this recipe cant wait to try the different flavors.

Where’s the recipe? What are the spices?

A very short, concise video for making Congris, which was one of my mother-in law's favorite rice dishes to make. Thank you for the presentation!

How many serving is that??

Do you rinse the rice before hand?

This recipe was a hit!!

What are the spice's

Thank you so much Rosie.🙏🏼

Rosie, I have never made Sofrito before. When you make it, do you purée it or when you blend it is there still some texture to it?

Does the Sofrito come in the freezer section or on the shelf? What kind of brand do you use?

This may be a silly question, but did you wash the rice ? Or can I just throw it in there ? Thank you and it looks really good !

don't buy italian soffritto, or you will get italian rice with beans 😁

I have made your recipe around 4-5 times now. Love the dish and how easy it is to make. Definitely a part of my regular recipe book now.

Hello Rosie, could tell me the name of pot where you cooked the congri and the company where you bought it, I would love to purchase it. Thanks

Trying this recipe for dinner tonight! Thanks so much 💜 I will comment back later how it went for me

Smells great and flavorful but my rice didn't cook all the way. Too low heat?

Thank you for the wonderful recipe. What kind of pot is that?

Love it! Soooooo good!!

I'm on a no meat diet right now and tried this and it is so good!

Thank you for this awesome video

Got it thanks

What are the spices? Black pepper and what else?

Great came out perfect. Just like the restaurant

Que simple! I cannot wait to try this, thank you!

Love the recipe only the rice needed more water I added an extra cup because it would have come out hard

This recipe is golden!!! I tried it and my boyfriend loved it! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

I just made this recipe. It turned out great! Thank you so much for this simple recipe.

Yay, Rosie!! We call it Congris!!!!! Love it!!! My husband loves this so i make it for him!!! Thank you!!!

Great recipe. Those Frijoles Cubanos look delicious. I’m definitely trying this recipe tonight,

Happy Wednesday Rosie. LOL. I have that same sauce pan but mine is speckle blue! I have never tried black beans! I don't know why! I've only eaten pinto beans and black eye peas. Your rice looks delicious. I saw a concert by Zucchero and he was performing in Cuba and I noticed how old the cars are there! Classic 57 Chevy's!! Thanks for sharing your recipe and have a good evening. Sending Cali love. XOXO :)

Hi there Rosie ! Looks really good. Thanks for sharing all these different food recipes with us all. Have a great day ! 👍😁👍❤️

I love both red beans & rice and black beans & rice. The Cuban restaurant where I eat adds meat to theirs. And I always have to have their great Cuban sandwich with it. lol

Oh yummy. Thanks for sharing.
