Steps:
- Begin by checking the beans for any stones. You can do this by hand or place the beans in water and the rocks will sink to the bottom of the bowl.
- Once you've checked the beans for any stones, rinse them and then place them in the instant pot. Cover the beans with 7 cups of water. Add 1/2 green bell pepper, close the lid, and press the "pressure cook" function. Seal the valve and cook for 45 minutes.
- Place the beans and liquid into a pot with high sides. Add the cumin, bay leaf, sofrito, recaito, chicken bouillion powder, vinegar, vino seco, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Discard the green bell pepper or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Cook the beans over high heat and let it come to a rapid boil.
- Once the beans come to a boil, stir in the rice. Check for seasoning, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 25-30 minutes. After 30 minutes, uncover and stir. Cover again and let it cook until the rice is perfectly fluffy. Finally, check for seasoning and enjoy!

CUBAN-STYLE ARROZ CONGRí
The combination of white rice and black beans is a Cuban staple. Black beans served on top of or next to white rice is most commonly called Moros y Cristianos, a reference to the medieval battle between Islamic Moors and Christian Spaniards on the Iberian Peninsula. When rice and beans are mixed with sautéed aromatic vegetables and sometimes bits of pork, the result is called congrí. (In some Cuban households, it is also called Moros y Cristianos.) As a rule, congrí is a fluffier and drier dish than Moros y Cristianos. Yolanda Horruitiner, who has lived in Cuba for all of her 70 years, makes this simple version of congrí without pork or cumin, which is a staple in some versions. Feel free to add either to the sofrito base. This recipe uses a stovetop to cook both the rice and beans, although the dish can be assembled more quickly using a pressure cooker and rice cooker and making the sofrito in a separate sauté pan, then mixing it into the rice before it's all cooked.

Steps:
- Rinse the beans and pick them over for any small stones. Put the beans and 8 cups water in a medium-size pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer, partly cover and cook until tender, about 1 to 2 hours. (Time will vary depending on the bean.)
- Meanwhile, make the sofrito: Put the oil in a medium-size pot (large enough to hold the rice as well) over medium heat. When it's hot, add the onion, green pepper and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are limp. Stir in the oregano, dill and bay leaves and remove from heat.
- Drain the beans, reserving the broth and being careful to not break the beans. In a large measuring cup, add the vinegar and wine, 1 cup of the reserved bean broth and enough water for all the liquid to measure 2 1/4 cups.
- Put the sofrito back on medium heat, add the rice and stir to combine. Cook the rice for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the seasoned bean broth/water mixture and the salt. Bring to a boil, stir, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 17 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and return cover to pot for 10 minutes.
- Remove bay leaves and put rice mixture into a mixing bowl. Gently mix in the beans, being careful not to break them. Season well with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Mash the garlic and render the bacon fat
- Put the garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cloves, let it sit for a few minutes, and mince it into a paste with a knife. Set aside.
- Place the bacon and olive oil in a large pot and set it over medium-high heat. Sauté the bacon until it renders its fat and turns a golden brown color, about 6 minutes. Move the bacon around as it's cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Sauté the vegetables and rice
- Add the onion, green pepper, and garlic paste to the bacon and sauté until the vegetables are limp and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, the bay leaf, cumin, oregano, and rice and stir for 1 minute until well mixed and all the rice is coated in oil.
- Add the beans, simmer, and serve
- Add the beans and their liquid, along with the water and vinegar, to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed by the rice. Allow the covered pot to sit off the heat for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

- In the same water that they soaked in, bring your beans to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until tender. This will take about 40 to 50 minutes. Do not add anything at this point or your beans will turn out tough.
- Sauté the finely chopped onion and green pepper in the olive oil until tender. Add pressed garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato paste, oregano, cumin, bay leaf, white wine vinegar and stir gently for about five minutes or until cooked.

- Add 1/2 cup of olive oil to a pot and fry the rice for a few minutes, then add the beans, make sure to use only 5-6 cups of water in which the beans were cooked. Cook over medium heat – keep covered until the rice has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large skillet and add onions, peppers and cook for about 2 minutes just to minimize them a bit. Once ready, pour it over the cooked rice and mix well. Garnish with 1 red pepper cut into strips and pour the liquid over the rice.
