Rice and Beans is a popular staple food for many Latin American and Caribbean .One day Eliot brought home a set of rice and bean home from Harlem,NYC.He told me how much he paid for the bean and rice and I was terrified coz it's quite expensive.So I told him I can cook the same food at home provided I can get hold of the authentic recipe.Eliot said he will get a recipe and ingredients from his Puetro Rico's co-worker.So the next day he told me the co-worker recipe which is quite simple and easy.Honestly cooking a simple meal like Bean and Rice at home is really cost effective and simple,not to said it's nutritious too. 
Ingredients:
5-6 cloves garlic,peeled and chopped
1/2 cup Sofrito
1 lb pork,diced small
1 liter chicken broth
1 tbsp chicken bullion powder
2 tbsp oil
1 cup water
salt to taste
1 pack/box yellow rice,cook according to the instruction on the back of the box
Method
1:Heat stock pot or deep skillet with oil at medium high heat.Add in garlic,fry for 30 second or light brown
2:Add in pork and sofrito ,stir for 1 minutes,add in beans ,chicken broth,chicken bouillon powder and salt
3:Cook beans for 15 minutes or until it's break down.If necessary add in some water to make it's more gravy ,not dry.Check the seasoning before removed from heat
4:Serve warm with yellow rice.

On Tuesday, I made black and chilie beans in a crockpot but added ground beef with lots of jalepenos. This is the only dish I can eat everyday serve with rice, of course! :)
