Living this side of the Atlantic in Ontario, Canada and close to the USA means I have access to all kind of amazing food, some items I had not even heard or tried before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuban Style Rice (Arroz Congri or a few other different names) is definitely one of those things I hadn't tried until I moved here. It's a traditional Cuban dish of white rice and beans with some unique seasonings for flavour. My take on this dish and probably not very traditional really, add a few extras like chicken thighs and sausage to make it a complete one-pot meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I use chicken and sausage in my recipe, it is so versatile that you really use any kind of meat of choice, like just chicken, ground meats (mince) or pork etc and if you are vegetarian then add some extra veggies instead or a meat replacement that you think will work well. Use a stock that compliments the protein you use, so for example if you use beef, swap the chicken stock for beef stock and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I  recommend cooking this in a deep frying pan with a lid, as there needs to be enough room for all the ingredients in the pan to cook and the lid is a vital part of the cooking steps, as we kind of steam the rice after all the stock is absorbed to create perfectly cooked rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great dish for freezing up to, just make sure you follow health guidelines on how to store cooked rice safely. To heat up from frozen you can just add to a deep frying pan with a little stock and simmer until cooked through. Perfect!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
