Arroz congrí, una receta cubana con un toque venezolano. // Rice congrí, a Cuban recipe with a Venezuelan touch.
¡Hola a todos! Hoy voy a participar en el Plant Power Cooking Challenge | Week #13 con uuna receta muy especial Arroz congrí.
Cuando emigré a Cuba una de las cosas que más he podido disfrutar es la cocina. Entre mis favoritos está el arroz congrí, que es el plato tradicional de la isla. Consiste en cocina los frijoles justo con los vegetales y el arroz, se oye fácil, pero para una venezolana que acostumbraba a cocinar por separado estos ingredientes es difícil aprender esta nueva receta para que el arroz quede en su punto.
Después de varios intentos, aprendí como hacerlo. Y aquí hoy les presento la receta con mi toque personal de la cocina venezolana que llevo en la sangre.
Hi everyone! Today I am going to participate in the Plant Power Cooking Challenge | Week #13 with a very special recipe Rice congrí.
When I emigrated to Cuba one of the things I have been able to enjoy the most is cooking. Among my favorites is rice congrí, which is the traditional dish of the island. It consists of cooking the beans with the vegetables and rice. It sounds easy, but for a Venezuelan who used to cook these ingredients separately, it is difficult to learn this new recipe so that the rice is just right.
After several attempts, I learned how to do it. And here today I present the recipe with my personal touch of Venezuelan cuisine that I carry in my blood.
250 gramos de frijoles negros
3 tazas de arroz
2 Cebollas de cabeza
1 cabeza de ajo
1 pimentón
1 ají dulce
Una pizca de bicarbonato de sodio
Cilantro
2 cucharadas de Puré de tomate
Sal y aceite
250 grams of black beans
3 cups of rice
2 head onions
1 head of garlic
1 bell pepper
1 sweet chili bell pepper
A pinch of baking soda
Cilantro
2 tablespoons of tomato puree
Salt and oil
-Lo primero que debemos hacer es lavar muy bien los frijoles, revisamos que no tengan semillas o piedras pequeñas.
-The first thing we must do is wash the beans very well, we check that they have no seeds or small stones.
-Ponemos en la olla de presión durante 40 minutos con una pizca de bicarbonato para que se ablanden.
-We put them in the pressure cooker for 40 minutes with a pinch of baking soda to soften them.
-Picamos en cuadrados pequeños la cebolla, el ajo, el pimentón, el ají dulce y el cilantro. Ponemos en un sartén caliente un chorro de aceite. Cuando se caliente agregamos los vegetales picados y dejamos dorar.
-Chop in small squares the onion, garlic, paprika, sweet bell pepper and cilantro. We put in a hot frying pan a splash of oil. When it gets hot, add the chopped vegetables and let them brown.
-Luego incorporamos el puré de tomate y revolvemos bien. Si tienes tomates frescos puedes sustituir el puré por 2 tomates medianos.
-Then add the tomato puree and stir well. If you have fresh tomatoes you can substitute the puree for 2 medium tomatoes.
-Procedemos a agregar los frijoles con suficiente caldo donde se cocinaron, calculamos 4 tazas de caldo de frijol.
-We proceed to add the beans with enough broth where they were cooked, we calculate 4 cups of bean broth.
-Dejamos hervir y agregamos el arroz previamente lavado.
-Let it boil and add the previously washed rice.
-Revolvemos hasta que se integre bien el arroz con los frijoles y los vegetales.
-Stir until the rice is well integrated with the beans and vegetables.
-Agregamos sal al gusto. Con 1 cucharada es suficiente.
-Add salt to taste. 1 tablespoon is enough.
-Dejamos a fuego medio hasta que se seque todo el caldo de frijol. Bajamos la temperatura al mínimo y tapamos. Dejamos cocinar durante 28 minutos.
-Leave over medium heat until all the bean broth dries. Lower the temperature to the minimum and cover. Let it cook for 28 minutes.
Y está listo nuestro arroz congrí.
And our rice congrí is ready.

Propiedades nutricionales: El frijol negro es una gran fuerte de proteínas, muy similar a las que proporciona la carne, es por eso que en algunas culturas los adoptan como sustitutos. Contienen fibra soluble e insoluble y carbohidratos. Contienen grasas que proporcionan la energía suficiente al organismo. También proporciona minerales como potasio, fósforo, hierro, calcio y zinc. Estas leguminosas son un potente antioxidante que ayudan a mejorar la salud y a evitar algunas enfermedades como el cáncer y la diabetes. El molibdeno también está presente en los frijoles negros y ayuda a desintoxicar el organismo de sustancias nocivas presentes en los embutidos , por ejemplo.

I love this dish, I've had the Cuban version a few times. There is nothing quite like the combination of rice and beans, perfect partners. The Jamaicans do a version of this with coconut milk, green onions, and fresh thyme, and also Indians have several bean and rice combinations that are lovely.
Your preparation looks lovely. I am from the USA, my family is Cambodian, and we live in Suriname in a Guyanese-Cuban neighborhood, and we also enjoy learning other countries' cultures and foods. Cuba is one of the few countries in the western hemisphere that gives Cambodians a no-hassle tourist visa.
