Black Beans and Rice
Originating in the Caribbean, the combination of black beans and rice is one that goes back many centuries. When the brilliant white rice is served separate to the dark black beans, the dish is known as Moros y Cristianos, an allusion to the wars between the Moors and Christians. When the rice and beans are combined, the dish is known as congri. At its base, a wonderfully smoky pork flavor along with onions and garlic and a hint of vinegar and bay leaf make this an authentic taste of the Caribbean.

Cooking Directions - On the Stove
Bring 2 and 2/3 cups of water, 2 tablespoons butter to a boil in a
medium saucepan. For a more authentic flavor, substitute olive oil for
butter. Stir in rice mix, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20
minutes. Remove from heat and let stand about 5 minutes. Stir before
serving.

Cooking Directions - In the Microwave
Combine 2 and 2/3 cups hot water (for thinner sauce - add additional 1/4
cup hot water), 2 tablespoon butter, and contents of black beans and
rice mix in a 3 quart microwave-safe dish. For a more authentic flavor,
substitute olive oil for butter. Cover and microwave on high for 20
minutes. Stir. Let stand covered for 5 minutes. If your microwave does
not have variable settings follow your manufacturer's directions.
