If using dried beans, cook them according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside. If using canned beans, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
⏱️ Varies (if cooking dried beans) - 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until it begins to crisp and render its fat, about 5-7 minutes. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, and the garlic is fragrant, about 5-8 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 3
Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir well to coat the grains with the bacon fat and aromatics. Toast the rice for about 1-2 minutes until the edges of the grains appear slightly translucent.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Pour in the warmed broth, add the cooked (or canned) red beans, and the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer.
⏱️ 18-20 minutes - 5
Cook until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The consistency should be moist and slightly soupy, not dry. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
⏱️ 18-20 minutes - 6
Remove the bay leaf. Let the arroz de feijão rest, covered, off the heat for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to finish cooking.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 7
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. This dish is delicious on its own or as a side.
