Rice and beans are a staple in many countries around the world. My Spanish Beef, Rice & Beans dish is one of my families favorite. I used beef stew cubes in this recipe because they become tender and delicious after cooking in the broth. This time of year you’ll be able to find all of the produce fresh from your farmer’s market. This dish has onion, green peppers and Jersey Fresh tomatoes. If you can find canned diced tomatoes with chili peppers you’ll add some extra flavor and heat to the dish. If you can’t you can just add some canned jalepenos with a can of diced tomatoes. This dish takes a while on the stovetop but it’s well worth the effort.
