(WSVN) - A South Florida chef puts a little twist on a traditional dish. It’s time to grab a Bite with Belkys.

The Chef: Alexis Herrera
The Restaurant: Calle Dragones, Miami
The Dish: Risotto Congri Vaca Frita

Ingredients:
3/4 cup arborio rice
6 oz black bean liquid
3 oz black beans cooked
(4) 2 oz pieces of short rib (pre-cooked)
1/3 cup Cuban mojo
3 oz manchego cheese (grated)

Method of Preparation:

  • Cook the rice as you would with a normal risotto, only substituting black bean broth for the chicken stock.
  • Once cooked, season to taste with salt and cumin.
  • Transfer to an oven-safe platter and add the machego cheese, then place under the broiler to allow the cheese to bubble and brown.
  • Fry the beef short rib in mojo until warm.
  • Remove risotto from oven and place short rib on rice.
