Method

Moro Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the black beans under cold water and soak them in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Ingredients

    Stir in the soaked black beans, rice, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Pour in the water and bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove from heat, discard the bay leaves, and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
