Directions
Victor’s Cafe 52 Cuban Black Beans and Rice,Victor’s Cafe 52 is a reknowned Cuban restaurant that has been in Manhattan since 1963. I found this recipe in the newspaper about 20 years ago, when Cuban cuisine was quite novel to me. It was a great introduction!,What I love about traditional black beans and rice are the subtle differences between family recipes. This recipe was really delicious and it’s very reminiscent of one of our favorite Cuban restaurant recipes. I didn’t use as much salt as the recipe called for, but otherwise I went with the ingredients listed. The green bell pepper soaking with the beans really gives the bean broth a great flavor. I started to use my pressure cooker, but decided to just simmer them on the stove instead. They were really delicious over the rice.
