Como fazer Cuban Style Cristianos Y Moros Congri
- Soak 1 cup of black beans in water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In a large stock pot, combine the drained beans, 1 medium chopped onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 bay leaves, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Add 4 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed to prevent sticking.
- Remove the onion, garlic, bay leaves, and bell pepper. Discard.
- While beans simmer, prepare the sofrito: Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bacon grease in the skillet. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of each ground cumin and aji dulce (or substitute with a pinch of cayenne pepper). Cook for about 3 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.
- Stir the sofrito into the cooked beans along with the crumbled bacon.
- Continue simmering for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot with 2 cups of cooked white rice.
