  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (424 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free
  • Contains: beef, dairy

Ingredients

  • 100 g Black-eyed peas, canned
  • 70 g Rice, white, long-grain
  • 25 g Beef, dried
  • 25 g Onions, raw
  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 25 g Queso blanco
  • 3 g Cilantro, fresh
  • 12 g Vegetable oil
  • 160 g Water

Method

  1. Soak the dried beef in water for 20 minutes to soften and remove excess salt, then drain, pat dry, and dice small.
  2. Heat the oil in a pot and fry the beef until lightly crisp, 4-5 minutes, then add the onion and garlic and sauté 3 minutes more.
  3. Stir in the black-eyed peas and rice, then add the water and bring to a boil.
  4. Cover, reduce to low heat, and cook 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender.
  5. Meanwhile, fry the queijo coalho cubes in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes until golden on each side.
  6. Fluff the rice and beans; the dried beef and cheese already season the dish well, so taste before adding extra salt, and serve topped with the grilled cheese and cilantro.
