Moros y Cristianos - Moors and Christians
Perry Gresham
The dark-skinned Moors invaded Spain in the eighth century hence the name for black beans and rice. Traditional black beans and rice is served with the prepared beans on top of cooked rice. This dish is different because the rice and beans are cooked together.
