Arroz de Feijão Tarifi

Arroz de Feijão Tarifi

I ate arroz de feijão in Lisbon, which I visited last month. It was served with fried fish. In my opinion, it was not a very successful match, but apart from that, it was a very tasty pot dish on its own. As a true Turk, I couldn't help but dream of yogurt with it. I didn't just dream it, I cooked it as soon as possible after returning home and added yogurt to it while serving. It was delicious, just as I expected.

Arroz means rice, feijão means beans. Arroz de fajião also means rice with beans. A one pot dish with rice, such as our spinach stew with rice or leek dish rice. The only difference is that tomato paste is not used. But thanks to the grated tomato and paprika, its deficiency is not felt. However, if you want, you can also add tomato paste.

Since it is made with red beans, it reminds chilli con carne recipe. It's like the version with rice instead of ground beef. But it's not that spicy. Of course, if you like spicy, you can add it. I don't add it to the dish directly, but I sprinkle chili pepper on top while serving. Actually, I do this with all tomato paste dishes, nothing special for arroz de feijão.

There is a very important point in the making of arroz de feijão. Beans should be cooked to the extent that they can continue to cook after adding rice in pressure cooker. If it is cooked too much beforehand, it will fall apart until the rice is cooked. If they are not softened enough, the cooking time of the rice will not be enough to soften the beans completely, as the rice cooks in a short time.

Can I Use Canned Beans?

Since canned beans are overcooked, they will fall apart in recipes that need to be cooked for a while. But if you have to, after cooking the dish completely, including the rice, you can add the canned beans last and try not to crush them while mixing, and you can bring it to a boil and remove from the fire.
