    Arroz con Frijole Negros or Rice with Black BeansPin


    Arroz con Frijoles Negros is a complete one pot meal and all it requires is rice and beans which are two of the most popular ingredients used in Colombia. For a vegetarian version, exclude the beef bouillon and use vegetable instead.

        Leti- Hogao is a tomato and onion sauce. You can find the recipe in my recipe index.

      I just finished making and eating this, and my son and I loved it! It smelled wonderful as it was simmering and was very flavorful. Not to mention, it was a very inexpensive meal. I halved the recipe because I only had 1 cup of beans.
      Thanks for sharing!

      Amazing! We all really enjoyed this, but I found it made a solid 8 servings as a main dish.

      Hi Erica,

      I just tried your arroz con frijoles negros, because I've always loved the Goya boxed version, and wanted to add to my repertoire. I had to substitute canned tomato sauce for the fresh tomatoes, white onions for the scallions, and red kidney beans for the black beans, and it *still* it came out wonderfully. It's a great alternative to takeout - so easy and filling.

      My next move is to experiment with freezing your delightful hogao in zip-locs or ice cube trays for Cuban gourmet in a flash ;). Masha Allah, this is a keeper.

      Thank you ever so much for this clear and simple recipe!

      I'm working with lots of Colombians and trying to pick their brains for vegetarian recipes; Not easy. Good to see you have some options for me, thank you
      I wonder if I can modify these recipes for pressure cooking?

      This is amazing. Thanks so much!

      I added some avocado and I'm thinking about how to serve some of this with huevos, in the morning.

      Do you have quick versions of your bean recipes? Like can I substitute a can of black beans… for say a quick weeknight meal. I’m pregnant with a toddler and I need all the shortcuts possible
