[@GabrielPerez-zv6gm]

Don’t worry. We Cubans don’t get offended by being called black, white or any color or race. In fact we rarely use the word African. Black people are called blacks and Cubans who look Asian are called chinos. Happy holidays

I made this all in my IPot. I love how it was fresh beans instead of a can and you made sofrito from scratch. Because of you, I’ve got the complete seasoning in my arsenal now lol. This was delicious and we enjoy it. It’s hearty that it can be a meal in itself.

[@kristinaaranibar6934]

Hello love thank you for your wonderful recipe, I was curious because my rice didn’t get as dark as yours. What beans did you use?

[@Lelitascubankitchen]

I used Goya. Soak your beans and use that same water to add to the beans along with the additional water. When you cook the beans save the bean broth and add that to the rice. Do not any additional water. Measure the same amount of broth as you would do if you were using water.

[@kristinaaranibar6934]
