History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Puerto Rico📅 Colonial era🫘 PR

Rice and stewed beans are the backbone of Puerto Rican home cooking, served at lunch almost every day. Puerto Ricans favour pink beans (habichuelas rosadas), cooked in the island's essential sofrito with a little ham and squash.

Every family has its own version, and many people say no restaurant beans ever taste as good as their mother's.
