LATIN AMERICAN STYLE RICE'N'BEANS

I'm not Latin american, but I have made rice and beans a lot of times.

I recommend you cook them separately, because beans take longer to cook than rice. Cook the beans on their own with some garlic, drain and add to the cooked rice.

Latin Amerifag here . You can cook them together but the beans take longer as annon already said, and must be pre-cooked. The one in your pic is almost like Brazilian's Baiao De Dois, but they go with bacon and smoked sausage, not chicken.

Fuck beans, those uncookable shits ruin rice every time

Rice and Beans is one of the staple foods in Brazil

we cook the beans in a pressure cooker

Always cook them separately. I'm not Latin, but I do eat mostly grains and vegetables.

Beans usually take about 2 hours to cook, and you should ALWAYS soak them for 8 hours overnight. This greatly reduces the amount of substances that are responsible for gas in beans, makes them much easier to cook, and makes them more digestable.

You can buy canned too, but dried, soaked and then boiled beans almost always turn out better. Rice usually only takes like 15 minutes to make to make it accordingly.

Chilean here
We don't really have rice and beans that much. We tend to have spaghetti instead of rice with it. We add the noodles to the almost thorougly cooked beans.

>This very traditional dish is typically served during winter in Chile. Made with a base of spaghetti and beans, its name- porotos con riendas or “beans with reins”-comes from the resemblance of the pasta to the ‘reins’ of a horse.
Neat.

Does this recipe look legit?

Forgot the pasta recipe copypasta:
2 cups pinto beans
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika or ground merquén (Chilean smoked chili pepper)
1 whole onion, diced
2 Spanish-style chorizo sausages, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely diced
1/2 package of spaghetti pasta
1 cup pumpkin, cut into cubes

Yeah, looks good. It's not a hard recipe at all, just gotta time the different ingredients properly, since beans take far longer to cook than, say, pumpkin.

Thanks. I just made beans & rice, but I'll have to try this one next.

I cannot stand this kind of food at all because I was raised on it. Who in their right mind would eat this garbage by choice if you lived in a first world country when options like cheeseburgers, pizza or even sushi are available?

Because people like to eat healthily dumb fuck and rice and beans are cheap, healthy, and easy (depends on the fucking beans though) to cook as it gets.
