Chef notes
Arroz con salchichas and frijoles negros, or rice with sausage and black beans, is definitely my favorite dish. My son Kiyan and I love it, especially my mom’s recipe.
“I’ve been making this dish for La La her whole life. It is delicious and with inexpensive ingredients. It is a staple item in a Puerto Rican household," Anthony’s mom, Carmen Surillo, says. "Whenever La La and Kiyan come and visit me in Atlanta from New York, the first meal we have together is arroz con salchichas and Frijoles negros, made with LOVE!"
