Cook the black beans until they are a little soft. This takes about 1.5 hours.
Lightly fry the garlic, paprika, onions and bacon in a little oil and season a little with pepper. The seasoning mixture created here is called Sofrito.
Boil the rice with the bean water (ratio 1: 2) and season with salt. The Sofrito is added after about 10 minutes of cooking and is stirred in.
Now cook to the desired consistency and then serve.
