Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil -- or canola oil

4 scallions -- white parts only, minced

1 stalk celery -- including leaves, chopped

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 Anaheim chili or jalapeno pepper -- roasted, peeled &

chopped

2 teaspoons crumbled dried oregano

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 cup long grain white or brown rice

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup peeled chopped fresh tomatoes or canned

chopped tomatoes

1 1/2 cups water -- (to 2 cups)

1 1/2 cups cooked kidney beans or black beans -- drained & rinsed

salt & freshly ground black pepper to

taste

 

Heat the oven to 325ºF.

 

Heat the oil in a large ovenproof saucepan over medium-high heat. When it's

hot, add the scallions, celery, garlic, chili or jalapeno pepper, oregano,

cumin, and chili powder. Reduce the heat to medium and saute, stirring often,

until the vegetables have softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the rice and

vinegar, and continue to cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about

2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups of water (2 cups if you're using

brown rice).

 

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and place in the oven until the

rice is cooked and all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes for

white rice, 40 minutes for brown. Stir in the beans and heat through. Season

with salt and pepper.
