[@indianikolwimbush2268]

When I think of this dish I think of Old school Cuban salsa I think of the smell of limes and mojo for masitas de puerco or rabo Encendido and all the Tia’s chilling in the sala with their coronas and cigarettes!! 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇪🇨🇪🇨🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

[@mr.speyside5240]

Clever Chef Zee Zee Plant in the background

[@melisavasquez1634]

Binge watching your videos!!!! My mother has lots very similar to there… where did you get them?

[@stalinvladimircabrera113]

Delicious! We Central American make it very similar too : in El Salvador we call it : Casamiento ( marriage) and in Nicaragua and Costa Rica they called it : gallo pinto .. 🇸🇻🇳🇮🇨🇷

[@Chefzeecooks]

I love that! I knew it was also called Casamiento but didn't know it was called Gallo Pinto. Now I know. I'm dying to visit Costa Rica!

[@analord3689]

Chef Zee Cooks ! I am from Costa Rica, but I love Dominican food, Iearned from a Dominican to use the sour Oranges, ! Visit Fosta Rica anytime is the best country in the area, and Panama too!

[@tiffanygreene5994]

Hi Chef Zee ❤ your channel and your recipes. I just have on question,when is the bean stalk coming from??

[@sydneydoleo746]

Hi chef zee! To get bean stock can I blend together a can of goya black beans? Unfortunately I live in a city that Spanish food/stores isnt so common 🥲

[@c.carter3654]

I wanna try this!

[@ahlewsiv]

Wow I'm going to try this you really did step by step very well

[@Chefzeecooks]

Thank you! So happy that you liked :)

[@aletap2063]

I spent some time in Cuban a couple summers ago and I love Morro Rice. Its the Cuban version of rice and peas lol. I was JUST telling my other half I need to find a recipe for it so thank you. 😊

[@jomarch4109]

This looks delicious! In Belize they make a similar looking rice but it is made with coconut milk, coconut oil, cilantro and thyme.

[@ntmn8444]

That sounds amazing!!!! I want to try it now....

[@Rick24.]

Great video.thanks for sharing but I have a question was the cooked?

[@ntmn8444]

I love your explanation!!! See, I wish someone would’ve explained about the canned beans. No wonder my version of congri always falls flat...mine comes out grayish for sure. I always wondered how to get it to be darker.

[@yolianneechandy1832]

Me encanto tu channel con sub / !!!!

[@user-bk4ml7bs3d]

That looks delicious I want some🤤😋

[@Ronym91]

This rice blew my mind when I went to Cuba! So good. I'll never forget a restaurant I went to in Havana that served me something called "chilindron" (don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly) with that rice. Ugh! so good.

[@arthcasi8589]

Chilindron de chivo (goat)

[@yandygarcia7435]

Goat curry

[@jvllianTV]

If you want to use canned beans you can use them and still have the color , just liquify a can of blk beans with water and that will be you broth . 😉

[@Chefzeecooks]

Oh wow!!! Never heard of this. I have to try it. Thank you so much for sharing!!! I appreciate it!

[@julisadunlop6314]

How many cans do you need to liquify and how long?

[@cookietime2635]

i agree…you can use 1 can for beans and another can to use in the blinder to make broth

[@payrocoin]

Awesome tip, thank you. 👌🏼

[@JN-yg5xm]

Where's the black leftover beans recipe? I can't find it on the blog.

[@teslainthehood]

I want to see the traditional version please!!!!

[@Explorewithlouis]

[@tancojioto]

How do you get the bean stock?

[@griesrt]

[@anjiebadtv]

[@foreverblessed6365]

[@slupi9]

[@depthgod7672]

[@rachelst-john7963]

New to your channel can u explain the fried onion dish i had it some time ago from some cuban dr's that stayed in a hotel i worked

[@WRPTechnology]

Where's the bayleaf??

[@RandomNessL]

‘Moro e Cristiano’ was the name I remember hearing a lot- this dish with some chivo or rabo?! Fam that’s a whole W.

[@daisyr.8320]

Thanks for the vid. Question. What’s “bean stock”? Can I buy it like chicken bouillon?

[@edenyc25]

Looks great! Going to try it but with organic canned black beans.. due to time constraints 😋

[@MamiGotHer0wn]

Keep doing your thing! I truly enjoy these videos especially when I run out of ideas of what to cook for the fam lol dominicannnnnn💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@nuyorican91st]

Your bae plus your a chef Awesome combo

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

Instead of using aluminum foil to cook rice there are special aluminum pots made for that purpose. They barely let any steam escape. It’s sold mostly in Latin America. The brand is: Imusa. It has a rough finish which helps create that seal

[@Miguelstradamus]

where do you get black bean stock?

[@Salasl90]

Would you be able to add the recipe to your homemade beans? The link?

[@carissabartholomae1596]

Love it😃 where can I get bean stalk?

[@biffles11511]

You have to make it with dry beans

[@anyedgarh0408]

Did it step by step, came out perfect 😍

[@Chefzeecooks]

Nicee!!! I need to make this soon myself!

[@peterboustani4441]

Awesome video :) thank you!

[@nickdune8654]

You should make the Oriental version of this dish, the one with red beans that they make on the eastern side of the island.

[@jerico80]

Right now im making your black beans from scratch recipe. The same water i used to soak the beans i used for the beans. If im going to make this dish using those beans, where would i get the bean stock from seeing how i used it to make the beans? Hope this isnt a confusing question.

[@Patronesofly]

Where does one get bean stock from?

[@FirestarOfficialTV]

either from the can or if fresh, from the water you soaked them in

[@stephaniemunoz7002]

Hi I'm wondering if you cook the rice before hand like the beans? or you put uncooked rice and cook it in the process?

[@mellisabellaa]

Me encanto!

[@addicted2zebras]

2 standard cups or 2 rice cooker cups?

[@madeleines3521]

If i make the beans same day from scratch…. Do i get the additional bean stock from can beans?

[@johannaperez8836]

Zee, never did this idea cross my mind. Def trying it!

[@tanyaescalona611]

How many people does this portion serve?

[@theresagarcia4823]

Yummy thank you

[@meled623]

Hiiii Chef great recipe!!! Do you know how to make arepitas de yuca ?

[@Xander-Gen]

I've been looking everywhere for one of those pots and I can't find them -__-

[@Chefzeecooks]

Oh no! If you live in NYC, the pots are fairly easy to find. I have a few linked in Amazon Store which may be able to help. I have a video coming up where I discuss all of my favorite pots & pans and where to find them. :) www.amazon.com/shop/chefzeecooks

[@wtfnowwhat1]

Walmart

[@nenafavs]

that looks really great, how did you get your bean stock?

[@faustolanda7109]

Angelica Rivera It’s the water when you cooked the beans

[@FirestarOfficialTV]

Can you make a vid on how to make this the traditional way?

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Yummy,looks amazing chef👏👏👏👏

[@jelllow]

Do you use dominican oregano?

[@lAngelWaWa]

Was your rice already cooked ?

[@travelispriority4836]

Chef zee! You’re my internet Tía. Thanks for the recipes 😁 & btw I was in Santo Domingo in March and brought back some Oregano. I was tired of hearing you say Dominican oregano and not having any lol.

[@ryuakanex]

Hi Zee! Where do you buy your calderos to cook in?

[@ella85ful]

la-bodeguita.com/ I believe it's her website. It's on the description. Hope this helps.

[@brooklynsecrets21]

emc you can buy 3 calderos on ebay for about 40$ and free delivery .

[@timothyminton9435]

And with canned beans?

[@j.m.6007]

Where do i get bean stock? Do u mean what's left after u boil the black beans? Or do u buy in the supermarket.

[@nondelusional]

Nope bean stock is the juice in the can of the beans.

[@danflaherty1132]

Do you cook the white rice fully before adding it to the beans? I suspect you'd want to only partially cook the rice first?

[@jazmins637]

I just love your recipes! Can't wait to try the congri! When's your cookbook coming out?? I need it in my life!!!

[@lizzymaldonado5183]

Where can I buy bean juice?

[@seankenny2151]

Want to try this recipe but what is “bean stock”. Thanks !

[@Chefzeecooks]

It’s the water that you get from the beans 😋😋😋 it’s better to use this vs plain water so that you get better and deeper color.

[@seankenny2151]

Ahh ok I assume you get this when making beans from scratch. I use canned beans and don’t get any excess liquid

[@JL-ip3sf]

It should be the other way around! You should make the traditional way and have a separate video doing it your way! Either way both are good!

[@tatianaventura4729]

How many cups of oil

[@Adelrosario808]

Loveeee your channel 🎉

[@TheSabrosongo]

Gracias amo tu canal

[@Chefzeecooks]

Gracias!

[@dalechristopher6635]

Looks delicious... thanks for posting. I've subscribed to your page to see all the future delicious recipes.

[@janela98devora89]

is the rice raw when you mixed it in with the beans?

[@nancyjacuinde8194]

Where do you get the black bean stock?

[@Chefzeecooks]

I make it myself. It’s the water/liquid that you get whenever you make black beans

[@axiomist4488]

Deeeelicious ! It came out sticky, just the way I like it, One small lesson : The correct name for this is MOROS, from MOROS CON CRISTIANOS (Moors and Christians). This probably came from Spain to Cuba or Cubans invented it, I dont know. At one time there were lots of Moors in Spain, so the name Moros con Cristianos is a blend of the Moors (who are dark, being Arabs) and the Spanish Christians, who are white. CONGRI (Con Gris or "with grey") is just like this but with RED BEANS. Somehow the name "congri" for the black bean dish got used in Miami by non Cubans and now even the Cubans use the term. This is how I think it started to be misused. I'm 74 and we always called them Moros (black beans) and Congris (red beans) .

[@indianikolwimbush2268]

The moors were black. Black Muslims but black! Christianos being the white rice

[@emmanuelking9988]

Congris is also correct, depending on what part of Cuba you are from. In Havana they call it Moro or Moro con Christiano but in Province of Oriente in Cuba (where I'm from), we call it Congris.

[@טחנתרוחאהבה]

How much water and rice need to be under

[@kyeasiat8256]

If i am using a fresh can . Should i drain the water from the beans ?

[@Chefzeecooks]

I would keep the water since it will help with flavor and color. Note that if you're using canned beans, your rice won't come out as dark as in the video :)

[@davgar4241]

One of my favourite in cuba

[@s0ulfullyme]

Please make it the traditional way as well gracias!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Yes! Working on it! Traveling these two weeks. I'll film it when I get back 🤗

[@mfrancescagomez9652]

Delicious 😋 and easy to cook. What is the size of the caldero? Thanks

[@1pyroace1]

Can we get a video on cooking turkey for thanksgiving pretty please!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Working on it! Definitely the goal for this year :)

[@1pyroace1]

Made To Order omg thank you!

[@Ana-bk4it]

What kind of rice do you use? Mine always comes over cooked and I do the same measurements given ☹️ thanks!

[@Chefzeecooks]

I use Long Grain Rice-- Arroz Carolina or Canilla. If your rice comes out over cooked try adding 1/2 cup LESS of water. Sometimes the pots, pans, and even stove can effect the outcome of our rice. My mom's stove doesn't heat up as hot as mine so I always end up having to use less water whenever I'm cooking in her house. I hope this helps :)
