INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

*NOTE: (red beans are not the same as kidney beans- they are smaller) Soak
the beans in the water overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain the soaking
water.
Put the beans and all the rest of the ingredients into a large cooking pot.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to moderate-low heat and cook for
about 1 hour, until most of the water is absorbed. Add more water if you
need to, and stir the beans every 10 minutes or so.
When the beans have 1/2 hour to go, make the rice. Put the rice and water
in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Simmer
until all the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Then turn the heat off
and let sit, with cover on, about 10 minutes.
To serve, serve the beans over the rice.
Serve with sliced avocado (aguacate), fried plaintain chips (platanos
fritos), and cornbread (served fried like hush-puppies). For dessert serve
fruit such as papaya with coconut, and expresso coffee (for Dominican style
expresso: fill up your demitasse cup 1/2 full of raw sugar, then add
outrageously strong expresso coffee!).

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
