Time 1h1m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces red kidney beans
3 garlic cloves
1/2 green bell pepper
2 sprigs cilantro
1 medium onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 medium tomatoes
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 cups white rice

Steps:

  • Presoak beans overnight or for a minimum of 3 hours in a large container with enough water to generously cover. Drain water, transfer beans to a large stockpot, and cover with 5 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, add the ham or bacon pieces, partially cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup of water and continue cooking for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make a sofrito: In a food processor or blender, combine garlic, bell pepper, cilantro, and half of the onion and process to a coarse paste.
  • In a small skillet, heat the oil. Add the sofrito mixture, and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, tomato, vinegar, and remaining onion to the beans and cook for 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes. Use a large spoon to separate the rice and bean mixture from the sides of the pot (do not stir any further or the mixture will break up and take on a gluey consistency). The dish is done when the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
