It's great to have this channel since I don't have my tía's around this year and I have to make Christmas dinner myself. Now I just have to figure out how to make yucca without the frozen stuff.
I use to let my black beans soak in the water, olive oil and green peeper for a few hours then boil. I am gonna try my insta pot to do the 3 minutes on beans, wow this just saved me time. Thank you for the video cant wait to look for more on your channel!
Good question! You can actually use long grain or extra long grain interchangeably in this case. The brand I usually use (Carolina) happens to be available as an extra long grain but I really think it’s just branding. The supermarket brand says long grain. I buy whichever one is on sale! The long grain rices are what you want for fluffy grains that don’t stick together as they would with a medium or short grain rice. Just be sure to not use par-boiled (precooked) rice which might also be available as a long grain rice. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Hi, Your video is from May of 2020 so hopefully you'll still remember Your Cuban black rice and beans, I noticed that you did not pre-wash starch from your rice. Is your rice par cooked Or is that a success type rice where it just has no excess starch? I like to thank you in advance.
HI Carol! Thanks for asking as I realize I see that I did not mention that in the video! I do rinse my rice a couple times actually, precisely for that reason (to get rid of the excess starch) and I like to use extra long grain white rice (not parboiled). I know some folks do not rinse, but that is my preference. Appreciate your comment. Thank you.
@@brendastanton38 thanks for pointing that out! I add it to the pot of sautéed veggies and seasonings when I add the cooked beans and water… give it a stir and then add the rice. Sorry for leaving that out!
No, not at all. Using a pressure cooker/InstsntPot, cook for 3 mins, on pressure, only (start timer AFTER the pot has come to pressure, and then remove from heat and let the pressure escape on it’s own, don’t vent. Using this method, the beans continue to cook while the pot is still sealed. Continue the recipe as explained. Keep in mind that the beans in this recipe are cooked differently than if you were making black bean soup which require 30-40 mins cooking time under pressure. The only time you need to soak beans is if you are not using a pressure cooker/InstantPot. Hope this helps! Thanks for your question!
Cubans don't use powdered garlic? Since when? Cumin is also powdered, do you use cumin seeds when you cook too? Arrepentida has two r's by the way. I wouldn't take advice on authentic Cuban cooking from someone who can't even speak proper Spanish. Hater.

I know what long grain rice is. I have a bunch of that. What is extra long grain rice? And what kind did you use?

No it’s not
When did you add apple cider vinegar?
@@brendastanton38 thanks for pointing that out! I add it to the pot of sautéed veggies and seasonings when I add the cooked beans and water… give it a stir and then add the rice. Sorry for leaving that out!
Do I need to soak the black beans over night in water ? I have never made the beans dry ?

Using a pressure cooker/InstsntPot, cook for 3 mins, on pressure, only (start timer AFTER the pot has come to pressure, and then remove from heat and let the pressure escape on it’s own, don’t vent.

This is Not authentic Cuban recipe- Cuban dint use powered garlic - needs more cumin- more bay leaf .. arepentida!!!
