Cuban Beans and Rice

I originally got this from a Cuban friend, but made some changes to it. I have had it many times, the leftovers are very good wrapped in a tortilla, too. Very filling dish.

Step: 1

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion, bell pepper and garlic. When onion is translucent add salt and tomato paste. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 minutes. Stir in the beans and rice.

Step: 2

Pour the liquid from the beans into a large measuring cup and add enough water to reach a volume of 2 1/2 cups; pour into beans. Cover and cook on low for 45 to 50 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked.

It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really wanted the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the bad kinds of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a meal that is less than satiating can leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
