Guest guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 Vegetarian Black Beans & Rice 1/2 pound dried black beans 1-1/4 quarts water 1 green bell pepper, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 large onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon sugar 2 teaspoons salt Yellow rice Rinse the beans and place in a pot, preferably a Dutch oven. Bring the beans to boil and then let simmer for about 1-1/2 hour, making sure the beans are soft. (I prefer to let the beans soak overnight.) Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the green peppers, onions, garlic, pepper, and oregano. Cook until tender (5-6 minutes)--be sure to keep stirring. Add the contents of the frying pan to the beans, along with the salt and sugar. Let simmer (with the cover on) for 40 minutes. Cook (uncovered) for 10 minutes or to desired thickness. Serve over hot yellow rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2000 Report Share Posted December 21, 2000 I love black beans with rice too! It is even quicker if you use canned black beans. I like Goya brand. It still tastes good made with the canned beans. Be sure to check the labels of the beans though - Progresso's black beans are flavored with meat. - In , " Dancer^ " <coolcook@a...> wrote: > Vegetarian Black Beans & Rice > > 1/2 pound dried black beans > 1-1/4 quarts water > 1 green bell pepper, chopped > 2 tablespoons olive oil > 1/2 large onion, chopped > 4 cloves garlic, minced > 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce > 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano > 1 teaspoon sugar > 2 teaspoons salt > Yellow rice > > Rinse the beans and place in a pot, preferably a Dutch oven.
