Jack's Beans
 

For a long time I did not understand why people were so upset with my rice recipe. After much soul searching, I realized people were upset that there was nothing to eat the rice with. I mean, only weirdoes eat white rice on its own.

Ingredients

1 can of goya beans (spanish flavored preferred)
1 whole white onion (diced)
12 small carrots (sliced)
1 whole jalapeno (diced)
5 garlic cloves (diced)
1 can of whole peeled tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes)
1/2 tablespoon of cumin
adobo to taste
Recipe Type: side dishes
Submission Date: 2002-09-09
Submitted by: jack
Serves: 4


Instructions

  1. Stir fry diced onions in medium heat.
  2. When onions are almost done add garlic and jalapeno.
  3. Add carrots a little later (you want to to delay the carrots so that they don't cook too long and become mushy).
  4. At this point, you could add sliced chicken or sliced turkey sausage, if you'd like this recipe to have some meat.
  5. Add tomatoes, stir cover and lower to medium/medium-low.
  6. Wait until tomatoes burst (about fifteen minutes)or you can cheat and break them up yourself depending on how much you want to wait.
  7. Add adobo and cumin to taste. If you don't have jalapenos, you can add cayenne pepper at this point.
  8. Then add the beans and cover for ten more minutes.
  9. Serve on top of Jack's Rice. ;-)

I will be posting a recipe soon, to be named "Jack's Rice Redux", and it will embody the soul and essence of Puerto Rican rice cooking. Mesaurements will be disregarded in favor of long amorous descriptions of the proper rice nurturing during the cooking process. Look for it soon in the Recent Additons!

Rice is a much bigger deal in Puerto Rico than the states. We talk about the best methods of cooking rice with friends and refine the instructions all the time. We work diligently toward the day that Tricia will be awe-inspired by Jack's rice.

Jack's beans are definately more impressive than Jack's rice, which is adequate, but not awe-inspiring.
