Rice and Beans

by Rafael Cox

I chose rice and beans because it is the first food I thought of and I figured I could find the recipe pretty quickly. It doesn’t really have any significance to me. It is very filling and it is pretty good. Sometimes I have bananas on the side of my rice and beans for some reason I like to eat sweet foods with savory foods.

Ingredients

• 4 cups Rice
• ½ lb Beans
• 4 Cloves Garlic
• 1/2 Red Onion
• Oil
• Water
• Banana (optional)
• Green Pepper
• Cilantro
• Adobo
• Sazon
• Black Pepper
• Vinegar
• Oregano
• Tomato Sauce
• Manzanilla Olives

10 servings if everyone is normal but if I come to the party it would be 9 servings (I count for two, based on real life). Duh duh cling.

Steps:

1. Put a pot on the stove at medium heat.
2. Add some oil.
3. Add all the seasonings.
4. Add the beans and three cups of water.
5. When water is boiling, add the rice, previously washed.
6. Taste it for salt and cover it halfway.
7. When all the water is gone, stir in the rice.
8. Cover it and let it cook for about 25 to 30 min.
9. Now you can eat!

The recipe is from my grandma.
