Directions
Authentic Puerto Rican Rice and Beans,This is my family’s recipe straight from Aguada, Puerto Rico. In PR we make it from scratch (all the seasoning, but this recipe tastes the same, just easier than the all home-made version. This recipe is easy and serves 4, or 2 if you eat alot!! Muy rico, come lo,This looks like a good recipe but the rice and beans I ate in Puerto Rico when I was there with my church group building a school back in the 1980’s had pigeon peas, not kidney beans. I’ll try this one though because where I live, pigeon peas aren’t readily available.,My dad was also stationed at Ramey AFB in the late 1960’s. I have been looking for a recipe that tastes like what we ate when we were there. So far this has been the closest. I remember going to the base cafeteria for lunch and getting a plate of rice and beans and a cherry coke for 30 cents. Soooooo Good! Now if I only had a loaf of Puerto Rican bread from the little store that was outside the base gate!
