Black Bean Spanish Rice Recipe

By Angela McGowan

This is my version of Arroz con Frijoles Negro, or Black Beans and Rice. I first had this dish at a local Cuban restaurant. I absolutely love black beans, and combining them in this classic rice dish brings out the flavors wonderfully. I came up with this recipe after surveying my cuban friends about how they liked to make this dish, and then picked out my favorite parts of their different recipes, and came up with this one. I served this with chicken flautas one day, and had enough leftovers to serve it with lime chicken the next day.
