Moros y Cristianos or Cuban Black Beans and Rice
Another variation of this dish is called Congri which uses red beans instead of black beans.
The name of the dish is an intriguing reference to a historical period when Arabs (then known as Moors) dominated the land that is now Spain. They are known to have introduced rice to the region's gastronomy. The Christian Spanish often fought with the Arabs over the area eventually driving them out.
The name of this Cuban dish refers to the historical confrontation between the Moors and the Christians which is reflected in the two main ingredients: rice and black beans.
