My husband’s FAVORITE meal is rice and beans. I don’t make them as often as he would like, so this was his Valentine’s Day dinner request with breaded pork cutlets (I will share that recipe tomorrow). This is my quick version of Puerto Rican style beans, which I make with either pink or red canned beans and diced potatoes, perfect when you need a quick side. I originally posted this back in 2009 (original photo below made with pink beans) and took the opportunity to reshoot. We serve it over white rice but it’s also great over brown as a side dish to chicken, pork chops or steak. You can easily make it a meatless main dish, served over rice with avocado (and some hot sauce!) and call it a meal. I usually have sofrito in my freezer, I make big batches of it for beans and other dishes. Here I scaled it down to make an exact amount, but if you have your own homemade I use 1/4 cup. image: https://lh5.ggpht.com/_BizpeaUzxq8/SYn3hmvdwEI/AAAAAAAAA2g/NEigeJFV7uI/s800/puertoricanbeans.jpg Puerto Rican Style Beans Skinnytaste.com Servings: 4 • Size: 3/4 cup beans and sauce • Points +: 3 • Smart Points: 3 image: http://images.adpinr.com.s3.amazonaws.com/3271327.png image: http://img.3lift.com/?width=526&height=400&url=%2F%2Fimages.3lift.com%2F3355875.jpg&logo_exclude=W,NW&v=0&cv_version=3&ha_version=2&ir_version=2 image Grace Coddington On What Makes Her Hair “Beautiful” “My hair gives me a look and an attitude; it is instantly recognizable in the caricatures I draw of myself.” Calories: 134 • Fat: 2 g • Carb: 26 g • Fiber: 7.5 g • Protein: 7.5 g Sugar: 4 g • Sodium: 641.5 mg • Cholesterol: 0 mg Ingredients: For the sofrito: 1/2 small onion 1/2 cubanelle (banana) pepper 3 cloves garlic 1/4 cup chopped cilantro For the beans: 1 tsp olive oil 15.5 oz can pink or red kidney beans (I like Goya) 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce 1 medium potato, peeled and diced 1/4-inch (4 1/2 oz) 1 1/2 tbsp Sazon seasoning (homemade or store bought) 1 bay leaf 1/8 tsp oregano kosher salt, to taste black pepper, to taste Directions: In a mini food processor, chop onions, garlic, pepper and cilantro.
