Black Beans and Rice

Once upon a time we vacationed to Costa Rica, where black beans and rice were served with almost every meal. It was delicious, and it became a frequent favorite once we returned home. Some know this style of rice as Moors and Christians, we were introduced to it as Brides and Grooms, and I’m sure there are many other variations. This is not an authentic recipe – but a delicious and easy one that pays tribute to it.
