Introduction
This is a traditional Cuban dish, in which the black beans symbolize the Moors, and the white rice the Christians. This version is adapted from a recipe from the Bean Education and Awareness Network. My whole family loves it, even my picky 13-year-old son. It's very good with some sliced oranges and crusty bread.
