I'll add Goya Sofrito, if I have it in the house and a little cumin and/or crushed red peppers. This combination makes my cuban boyfriend happy! Also, try some yellow rice, for a change. There are several brands on the store shelf. Red or black, I add lots of garlic and oregano and a little plain tomato sauce.

I saute chunks of pork (in the same pan i just cooked bacon), add 2 jars of Sofrito (in the Mexican food aisle) & simmer for a few hours. In another saucepan I add the crumbled bacon, chopped green olives, and another jar of Sofrito. Combine all & add 2 cans rinsed red beans & serve over rice. I only have this a few times/year at the very most due to the unhealthy factor - but it is soooooo good. It used to be very difficult in my area to find Sofrito, but now it has made a comeback & I couldn't be happier! My all time favorite recipe involves pork.

I saute, red onion, small minced celery, carrot and zuchini in a small amount of olive oil i add this to my beans along with cumin (my favorite spice), tumeric, red pepper flakes and some dry oregano (mexican style). I normally use brown rice for the nutty flavor. I love my beans mixed with the black beans and a side salad for dinner...

(that's what makes the rice and beans look dirty) Then I cook the salt fish and ackee with tomatoes. You can find a good recipe in any JamaIcan Cookbook. I downloaded Simple Jamaican Cooking by Winsom Murphy, best $10 (or so) I've ever spent. It comes in .pdf format. I serve it with akee and salt fish.
