Okay, my whole family says it's more purple than Black... Whatever
Arroz Negro / Black Rice
Take the liquid from a pot freshly cooked pot of Frijoles Negro and use it to cook your rice.
That's really all there is to it, easy peasy.
The thicker and more flavorful the liquid the better.
1lb=2c rice
1c chopped onion
1c chopped bell pepper
1 heaping tablespoon garlic, minced
4c Black Bean liquid
1/2c oil, bacon grease is my favorite for added flavor
1t Salt, 1/2t Cayenne and 1/2t Cumin
I soak my black beans overnight, then drain and save the liquid.
Then I cover them again and boil them for 5 minutes and again save the liquid.
In a large stock pot add oil, bring to high heat
Add rice and saute till opaque and golden
Add onion, bell pepper and garlic and continue to saute till the onion softens a little
Add Black Bean liquid and spices, stir well
Bring to boil, then lower heat to simmer, simmer covered for 25-30 minutes
