CUBAN-STYLE ARROZ CONGRí
The combination of white rice and black beans is a Cuban staple. Black beans served on top of or next to white rice is most commonly called Moros y Cristianos, a reference to the medieval battle between Islamic Moors and Christian Spaniards on the Iberian Peninsula. When rice and beans are mixed with sautéed aromatic vegetables and sometimes bits of pork, the result is called congrí. (In some Cuban households, it is also called Moros y Cristianos.) As a rule, congrí is a fluffier and drier dish than Moros y Cristianos. Yolanda Horruitiner, who has lived in Cuba for all of her 70 years, makes this simple version of congrí without pork or cumin, which is a staple in some versions. Feel free to add either to the sofrito base. This recipe uses a stovetop to cook both the rice and beans, although the dish can be assembled more quickly using a pressure cooker and rice cooker and making the sofrito in a separate sauté pan, then mixing it into the rice before it's all cooked.

Steps:
- Rinse the beans and pick them over for any small stones. Put the beans and 8 cups water in a medium-size pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer, partly cover and cook until tender, about 1 to 2 hours. (Time will vary depending on the bean.)
- Meanwhile, make the sofrito: Put the oil in a medium-size pot (large enough to hold the rice as well) over medium heat. When it's hot, add the onion, green pepper and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are limp. Stir in the oregano, dill and bay leaves and remove from heat.
- Drain the beans, reserving the broth and being careful to not break the beans. In a large measuring cup, add the vinegar and wine, 1 cup of the reserved bean broth and enough water for all the liquid to measure 2 1/4 cups.
- Put the sofrito back on medium heat, add the rice and stir to combine. Cook the rice for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the seasoned bean broth/water mixture and the salt. Bring to a boil, stir, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 17 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and return cover to pot for 10 minutes.
- Remove bay leaves and put rice mixture into a mixing bowl. Gently mix in the beans, being careful not to break them. Season well with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve hot.

Steps:
- In a pressure cooker, add half a pound of beans, 7 cups of water, two tablespoons of olive oil and one teaspoon of cumin. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once done, strain the beans from the liquid and set both aside. (The beans shouldn't be fully cooked, they will finish cooking once added to the rice. The black water, will give the rice its color)
- Cut six bacon strips into one inch slices and add to a pot over medium heat. Cook for about 8 minutes, until they're crispy.
- While the bacon is cooking, dice your onions, green peppers, and garlic to make your sofrito. Once the bacon is done, remove the bacon and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high. Using the oil left over from the bacon, add your sofrito and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Once your sofrito is done, add your washed parboiled rice and two tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the rice into the sofrito and allow it to absorb the oil and sofrito juices. This takes about 2-3 minutes, and you will notice that the rice will start to slightly clump up.
- Add five cups of the water that was drained from the pressure cooker to the rice. Add the strained black beans.
- Now add your salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and allow it to cook until all the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. You may stir the rice a few times to prevent it from sticking on the bottom.
- Once all the water is absorbed, add your bacon back in, stir and serve. Enjoy!
