Black Beans and Rice

Remember that tiny history lesson at the top of this page. The name of this dish refers to the wars between the Moors (blacks) and the Spaniards (whites). This blend of black beans and white rice, is common on every Cuban table, every day, and it is a reminder of the Spanish influence on Cuba. Don't get me wrong there is no daily ritual, where Cubans reflect on the Spanish invasion of 500 years ago. But I just want to point out that history does not exist in a vacuum, it influences everything, including food.

2 cups of cooked white rice (1 cup of dry uncooked rice)

1 cup of cooked Cuban black beans (recipe above)

Drain the beans. Does not have to be well drained, just get rid of the excess liquid. Stir with the white rice until evenly incorporated.
