- Congri is the perfect way to transform your leftover fríjoles negros (black beans) into another delicious Cuban dish! Abuela and I show you step-by-step how to make it. Sometimes referred to as “moros” this rice pairs great with bistec empanizado (cuban breaded fried steak). This authentic recipe has been passed down for generations in my family. Now, it’s your turn to learn!
Before beginning this dish, you’ll need to have made a batch of Abuela’s fríjoles negros -- find the recipe here 👉 • Cooking Cuban - Frijol... 👈

Instructions:
Step 1:
Make Cuban black beans. Whatever amount of beans are left over from that meal, can be used for your congri!
Step 2:
Measure out the amount of black beans you have -- including the liquid/broth. Put those in a pot.
Step 3:
Measure out exactly the amount of rice as you have beans. For example, if you have 1 cup of beans, use 1 cup of rice. If you have 2 cups of beans, use 2 cups of rice -- and so on.
Step 4:
Rinse the rice with water and drain a few times until the water that is being drained is more clear.
Step 5:
Add the rice to the beans in the pot and stir well. Taste to see if it needs salt. Add if yes. Add a bit of olive oil to the pot as well and stir.
Step 6:
Turn the stove to medium-low heat and cover the pot. Let simmer.
Step 7:
Keep an eye on the congri. Stir every once in a while to make sure it’s not sticking to the bottom and it’s cooking evenly. Always cover it back up to keep in the moisture.
Step 8:
Once you see all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is soft, remove the congri from the heat.
Step 9:
Add a little more olive oil, stir and serve!
Instrucciones:
Paso 1:
Cocine fríjoles negros -- usa lo que te sobra para esta receta de congri.
Paso 2:
Mide la cantidad de fríjoles que tienes -- incluyendo el caldo/líquido. Échalos en una olla.
Paso 3:
Dependiendo de la cantidad de fríjoles que tienes, usa esa cantidad exacta de arroz. Por ejemplo, si tienes una taza de fríjoles, usa 1 taza de arroz. Si tienes 2 tazas de fríjoles, usa 2 tazas de arroz y sucesivamente.
Paso 4:
Lava el arroz unas cuantas veces hasta que el agua que estás drenando, esté clara.
Paso 5:
Agregue el arroz a los fríjoles y revuelvelo bien. Determina si le hace falta sal y agregale en el caso que si. Agregale un poco de aceite de oliva. Revuelvelo.
Paso 6:
Aprende la candela a una temperatura media-baja. Cubre la olla con una tapa. Déjalo cocinar a fuego lento.
Paso 7:
Vigila en congri. De vez en cuando revuelvelo para asegurar que no se pegue y que se está cocinando parejo. Siempre manténgalo tapado si no los estás revolviendo.
Paso 8:
Ya cuando todo el líquido se ha absorbido y el arroz está suave, apague la candela.
Paso 9:
Agregale un poco más aceite de oliva, revuevelo y disfruta el congri!

Abuela I enjoy all your recipes
What part of Cuba is your abuelita from? My mom is from Baracoa.
Hi Joanie! My abuela is from Artemisa. She grew up there until moving to Havana after the revolution.
@@SamazingTravels thank you! I was telling my mom how your abuela reminds me of how she cooks. I love watching your videos with her. Have a beautiful day!
Wheres the sofrito and spices? Did i miss it?
Abuela keeps it simple and adds the sofrito ingredients to the pressure cooker so it cooks with the beans! If you want to sauté sofrito separately and add it in you can totally do that too!
This girl is not that bright lol sorry but she kept calling margarine butter and she called the LIME a lemon
