About Arroz congri

Arroz Congri, also known as Congrí or Moros y Cristianos, is a staple dish in Cuban cuisine, blending white rice and black beans cooked together to create a flavorful, aromatic combination. Traditionally seasoned with ingredients like garlic, onion, bell peppers, cumin, and oregano, this dish is prepared by simmering the beans with their broth before cooking the rice alongside them. Packed with plant-based protein from the beans and complex carbohydrates from the rice, Arroz Congri offers sustained energy and key nutrients like fiber, iron, and magnesium. However, it can be high in sodium depending on preparation methods, especially if cured pork or additional salts are included. Often served as a versatile side dish, it pairs well with meats, seafood, or vegetables, making it a satisfying and nutrient-rich component of a balanced meal.
