Preparation

Step 1

Use a large eight-quart covered stock pot. Heat the olive oil over low-medium heat, then add the onion, garlic, pepper and keep stirring until they are tender. Add the tomato paste, black beans, oregano, cumin, bay leaf and vinegar. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently.

Add the chicken stock and rinsed rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook about 20 to 30 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked.

Finally, add salt and pepper until it tastes just right. Remove the bay leaf, serve hot.
