Moro
by Aunt Clara
Moro is a mixture of rice, beans and
vegetables. We are presenting here a generic recipe in which you can
substitute the red kidney beans for white beans, black beans or green
pigeon peas.
Yield: 4
servings
Time: 35 minutes
Difficulty: Medium
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of rice
- 2 cups of boiled red kidney beans
- 6 cups water
- 5 tablespoons of oil
- 4 teaspoons of tomato paste
- ¼ cup of chopped green peppers
- 1 pinch of oregano
- ½ teaspoon mashed garlic
- 1/8 cup of capers
- ¼ cup of chopped celery
- 1 teaspoon of finely chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon of finely chopped
coriander/cilantro
- ½ teaspoon of thyme leaves
- 1 cube of chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Method:
Heat 3 spoons of oil in an iron pot and add the herbs, olives, spices and
the salt. Stir while adding the tomato paste. Add the beans, also while
stirring, then add the chicken stock. Once well heated, add the remaining
water and bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir regularly to avoid
excessive sticking. When all the water has evaporated cover with a
tight-fitting lid and simmer on very low heat. Wait 15 minutes, uncover,
stir, and add the remaining oil. Cover again and wait another 5 minutes.
The rice should be firm but tender inside. If necessary, cover and leave
another 5 minutes on very low heat.
Serve with meat, (or seafood) and a
side dish.
