Girl I love your channel! I’m 25, got married at 19 and didn’t even know how to boil water at that time. Now I’m making all your recipes and my Dominican/Puertorican husband is loving them all!

I needed this!!! I went to Cuba a while back and had amazing food, but I’m a sucker for good beans and rice. Now I can finally try bringing a little bit of Cuba to my kitchen ❤️

If you want to use canned beans you can use them and still have the color , just liquify a can of blk beans with water and that will be you broth . 😉

Where can I get the black bean stock????

You should make the Oriental version of this dish, the one with red beans that they make on the eastern side of the island.

that looks really great, how did you get your bean stock?

@faustolanda7109

Angelica Rivera It’s the water when you cooked the beans

🤤🤤🤤

👌

Instead of using aluminum foil to cook rice there are special aluminum pots made for that purpose. They barely let any steam escape. It’s sold mostly in Latin America. The brand is: Imusa. It has a rough finish which helps create that seal

Where's the black leftover beans recipe? I can't find it on the blog.

What is black bean stock ?

Hiiii Chef great recipe!!! Do you know how to make arepitas de yuca ?

Binge watching your videos!!!! My mother has lots very similar to there… where did you get them?

Great video.thanks for sharing but I have a question was the cooked?

Which recipes of your black bean do you use for the Congri?

It should be the other way around! You should make the traditional way and have a separate video doing it your way! Either way both are good!

Deeeelicious ! It came out sticky, just the way I like it, One small lesson : The correct name for this is MOROS, from MOROS CON CRISTIANOS (Moors and Christians). This probably came from Spain to Cuba or Cubans invented it, I dont know. At one time there were lots of Moors in Spain, so the name Moros con Cristianos is a blend of the Moors (who are dark, being Arabs) and the Spanish Christians, who are white. CONGRI (Con Gris or "with grey") is just like this but with RED BEANS. Somehow the name "congri" for the black bean dish got used in Miami by non Cubans and now even the Cubans use the term. This is how I think it started to be misused. I'm 74 and we always called them Moros (black beans) and Congris (red beans) .

The moors were black. Black Muslims but black! Christianos being the white rice

Right now im making your black beans from scratch recipe. The same water i used to soak the beans i used for the beans. If im going to make this dish using those beans, where would i get the bean stock from seeing how i used it to make the beans? Hope this isnt a confusing question.

Thanks for the vid. Question. What’s “bean stock”? Can I buy it like chicken bouillon?

Hola mi hija de dónde eres cubana Dominicana porque ese arroz me encanta es cubano

How do you get the bean stock?

Where do i get bean stock? Do u mean what's left after u boil the black beans? Or do u buy in the supermarket.

Nope bean stock is the juice in the can of the beans.

Do you cook the white rice fully before adding it to the beans? I suspect you'd want to only partially cook the rice first?

What kind of rice do you use? Mine always comes over cooked and I do the same measurements given ☹️ thanks!

@Chefzeecooks

I use Long Grain Rice-- Arroz Carolina or Canilla. If your rice comes out over cooked try adding 1/2 cup LESS of water. Sometimes the pots, pans, and even stove can effect the outcome of our rice. My mom's stove doesn't heat up as hot as mine so I always end up having to use less water whenever I'm cooking in her house. I hope this helps :)

Please make it the traditional way as well gracias!

How much water and rice need to be under

If i am using a fresh can . Should i drain the water from the beans ?

@Chefzeecooks

I would keep the water since it will help with flavor and color. Note that if you're using canned beans, your rice won't come out as dark as in the video :)

Was your rice already cooked ?

2 standard cups or 2 rice cooker cups?
