This is my take on a quick and easy recipe for cuban style black beans. It all comes together quickly and easily, with minimal prep work. Perfect for an easy, meatless meal.

1small bell pepper, diced

1/3 cupunsalted vegetable broth or water
Rice, for serving

Cooking Instructions

1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the peppers and onions. Cook, stirring often, for 5 or so minutes, until they are softened and the onion is translucent.
2

Add the garlic and cook and stir just a minute or so, until fragrant. Then stir in the black beans, seasoning and broth.
3

Let it come to a simmer and let it cool for 4-5 minutes, until the liquid has mostly cooked off.

That's it. Serve immediately. We like ours over brown rice, but eat however you'd like. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.

I originally wanted to make Cuban black beans. But then I had a bunch of leftover chimichurri sauce.... soooo this happened! The minute I tasted it, I KNEW, I would never make beans any other way again. Had to share it with you guys!The vinegar in the chimichurri gives a perfect hint of acidity to balance the hearty beans.

This dish is similar to the classic Cuban dish ... Arroz Con Pollo, but rather the rice (and beans) here are cooked separately. This is a recipe to get you comfortable with the dish before trying it out in a large pot, where the rice is cooked with the chicken in one pot and served family style.
