Arroz Congri
Cuban red beans and long-grain rice with a pork-rich sofrito.
About Arroz Congri
DimeCuba presents this red-bean Congrí as an original Cuban recipe for a traditional celebratory dish. Long-grain white rice cooks with red beans and their broth, following a sofrito of vegetables and pork ingredients.
Garlic, onion and the selected green pepper give the rice an aromatic base. Chicharrones, tocino and chorizo contribute pork richness, alongside oregano, bay leaf and cumin.
The beans remain intact among grains of rice coloured by their cooking broth. Cilantro is an optional decorative finish suggested by the publisher; its separate meat, plantain and salad accompaniments are outside this selected recipe.
