- Half green Italian pepper, chopped
- 3 chopped scallions (or half of a chopped white onion)
- 4 pealed fresh garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 Can of Goya black beans
- 2 Cups of long grain white rice (wash the rice, throw all the water away and have it ready to put it in the pan)
- 3 Cups of water
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
Salt to taste
Preheat a fairly deep pan, something like a 4qt sauce pan would work (do not use a frying pan) in medium high heat.
- Add the oil and let it get hot for about a half a minute
- Add the tomato paste to the oil and cook for 1 minute
- Add the Goya red seasoning and cook for about half a minute
- Add the green pepper and scallions, cook until soft
- Add the garlic and cook for half a minute
- Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes always moving it with a wooden spoon or it will stick to the bottom
- Add the 3 cups of water, the black beans with the liquid they came in and the white vinegar.
- Set the stove to high heat and bring to boil, move the rice from time to time so it doesn't stick to the bottom, taste the broth to see if needs more salt, if so, add it now.
- When all of the liquid is almost dried out, set the stove to LOW medium heat, cover the pan with a lid and leave it there for about 30 mins. DO NOT TAKE OFF THE LID DURING THIS TIME. After you take off the lid for the first time, move the rice around with the wooden spoon, do not scrape the bottom of the pan as it will probably have some rice stuck to it (we call this concon and it's delicious, we usually take it out after all of the rice is out of the pan). At this point, taste the rice, if it's al dente then put the lid back on and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so, continue doing this until you like the texture of it.
This was hard for me to write as I usually just eyeball everything and never write anything down. I hope it comes out ok. I will try to make the rice over the weekend following this same instructions and see how it comes out. If anything changes, I will point it out here.
.. We should open up a deck thread
