3 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro ( culantro de castilla )
salt
sour cream
Directions:
1. Place vegetable oil on a frying pan and heat for approximately 1 minute.
2. Saute onions until caramelized.
3. Add entire pot of cooked beans and its gravy into the sautéed onions.
4. Stir over low-medium heat for a minute.
5. Combine cooked rice to sautéed bean mix well and simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Add salt to taste.
7. Add cilantro.
8. Cook on high heat and quick.
9. Serve immediately and add the sour cream to taste.
