Platillo Moros y Cristianos, (moors and christians, moros or moro) is the national dish of Cuba, their version of the rice and beans combination found throughout the Caribbean and in Brazil. It is also found in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, and expatriate communities of each of these cultures. It was introduced during the Nicaraguan Sandinista regime when both countries mixed culturally because of strong ties. The dish also takes after the name gallo pinto, used in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The "Moors" refer to the black beans, and "Christians" to the white rice - a reference to the early settlers of Cuba for whom the Reconquista of Spain was a recent memory.

- A pinch of salt
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3 spring onions
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 pints hot water
Method
- Soak beans overnight, rinse and drain thoroughly

We have a Spanish version of Moros y Cristianos here.
A can of coconut milk could be used instead of processing a real coconut.
