Arroz Moro
Arroz Moro is a dish that uses leftovers. It consists of rice and menestra. It is usually accompanied by meat, estofado or fried plantains. The ratio of rice and menestra is 2:1. Arroz Moro translates as rice with red beans, so it is an advantage if the menestra has been prepared with red beans. However, since it is a leftover meal, you can of course use a different menestra. But then it is not Arroz Moro.
