Directions
Arroz Congri is a Cuban black bean and rice dish using canned black beans that can be served as a side or meatless main dish.,Rice and black beans cook together, which gives the rice its black color. Peppers, onions, garlic, cumin, and bay leaf give this dish so much flavor. Not only is arroz congri delicious, but its also high in fiber, protein, and antioxidants, low in fat, vegan, and gluten-free. Win, win!,I grew up surrounded by many Cuban families. In fact, as a kid, my first grandma was Cuban and taught my mom how to cook so many authentic Cuban dishes, like Picadillo. I grew up eating arroz congri and make it quite often, especially when I have leftover cooked beans. But canned beans work well too!,Rice: White rice is typically used in this dish. Ive never had it with brown rice, but Im sure it would be delicious for those of you who prefer brown. You may have to adjust the liquid and cooking time.,Beans: You can, of course, cook dried beans and use those if you prefer not to use canned. For this recipe, I dont recommend you drain the beans since the liquid gives the rice its black color. If you really want to drain the beans, be sure to fill the can back up with some water so it wont be too dry.,Arroz con Gandules (Rice and Pigeon Peas),Weeknight Seafood Paella,Latin Yellow Rice,Moms Spanish Chicken and Rice,Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice
