I was recently in Puerto Rico (Laquillo and Fajardo to be exact) and ate at a restaraunt named Madre Tierra and had a side dish. I can't remember exactly how to spell it but I thought it was called mopestito. It was a rice dish with red beans, peppers, onions and they said they sometimes put sausage, pork or ground beef in it.
I am looking for the correct name and a recipe for it. The owner said they cook the rice and beans separate and then serve them together to keep the dish moist. He said usually when people cook it at home, they cook them all together.
