EASY CUBAN-STYLE BLACK BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the pieces of bacon. If you're not using bacon, simply add about one tablespoon of olive oil and skip ahead to the fourth step.
• Cook the bacon until a lot of the fat has rendered out and the pieces have almost halved in size, but are not crispy. There's no need to crisp the bacon because it just gets soggy again when you simmer it with the beans!
• Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it to drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon fat in the saucepan.
• Add the onions to the hot bacon fat and stir to coat. Turn heat down to medium-low and cook for about 2 minutes, until they've reduced in size but aren't crisping or caramelized. They should be beginning to turn translucent and soft, but not quite there yet.
• Add the bel pepper and stir to coat, then cook for about 2 additional minutes.
• Add the garlic, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper and stir. Cook until the spices become noticeably fragrant - just about 30 seconds.
• Add the drained black beans and stir, then add a can's worth of water. Stir again, then add the bay leaf.
• Partially cover and increase heat to medium-high. Once the beans are simmering, reduce heat to medium low and keep partially covered. This allows the beans to keep simmering while some of the liquid cooks off.
• Allow the beans to barely simmer, stirring occasionally, until the volume of liquid has reduced down by about half. Realisatailly, you can eat the beans any time, but allowing them to simmer partially covered for 20-30 minutes results in better flavor and texture. If they get too dry before the rice is ready, just stir in a little more water. If removed from the heat and allowed to sit, they will quickly develop a "scummy" layer and won't look very pretty at dinner time!
• Before serving, remove the bay leaf and mash about half of the beans with a fork, potato masher, or back of a large spoon.
• Once the beans are simmering, start your rice. Cook it according to the package directions, but use olive oil instead of butter (or whatever fat you usually add). Use about 1 teaspoon of olive oil per cup of rice.
• Fluff with a fork when done.
• Top the rice with the black beans and serve, or serve the two separately.
