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. 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 1 tablespoon 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 tender8-10 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.
