Thanks for watching! I hope you subscribe because my channel is traditional Cuban recipes. Every now and then I add non Cuban recipes. Yes I truly understand 🥰
Don’t worry. We Cubans don’t get offended by being called black, white or any color or race. In fact we rarely use the word African. Black people are called blacks and Cubans who look Asian are called chinos. Happy holidays
Just made this along with your cuban bread recipe! Soooo delicious. Thank you for all your recipes. They have helped so much now that I live in a place without much latino food.
I made this all in my IPot. I love how it was fresh beans instead of a can and you made sofrito from scratch. Because of you, I’ve got the complete seasoning in my arsenal now lol. This was delicious and we enjoy it. It’s hearty that it can be a meal in itself.
I used Goya. Soak your beans and use that same water to add to the beans along with the additional water. When you cook the beans save the bean broth and add that to the rice. Do not any additional water. Measure the same amount of broth as you would do if you were using water.

Yes it’s traditionally flavored with some kind of pork or bacon. You can leave it out. To get the ham flavor I sometimes use ham flavored concentrate from Goya
