Directions
Cuban-Style Red Beans and Rice – Congri Traditional,Filled with Latin flavors gives this dish complexity and depth. Found in Cooking Light, March 2006. Prepare the night before, cool at room temperature, and refrigerate; reheat single servings in the microwave the next day.,ah i wanna make this for 2 people. by how much should i cut the recipe down? nevermind, i figured it out 🙂 i’ve prepared dry red kidney beans and one cup = about 3 cups when cooked… so i’d have to halve this recipe. haha. math. thank you for the recipe!,I found this recipe on supercook.com when I only had certain ingredients and was trying to find something to cook. I didn’t have enough kidney beans, so used one can red kidney beans and one can black beans, also had to sub a little onion powder since I didn’t have quite enough diced frozen onion (and had none fresh.) I also used turkey bacon (with a little olive oil to make up for lack of fat.) This recipe is just so ….. TASTY!!! Seriously, a good blend of herbs and spices! I have a lot of people staying in my house right now, the ten yr old, two three yr olds, and four year old EVEN ATE IT like crazy!!!! If you like mexican rice, I highly advise to try this at least once! You will NOT REGRET IT EVER! Prepare to put this one in your recipe box!!!
