How to Make Puerto Rican Beans And Rice
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of red kidney beans (or your preferred beans), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 2 cups of water or broth to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If serving as a main dish, double the recipe and serve over your favorite rice (recipe #220492 recommended) and garnish with fresh lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
