[recipe] Black beans and Rice - quick

[Guest guest]

With my busy schedule lately, I need quick recipes. This is ready in

a half hour, and it is Soooo-o Good! I like to add chopped tomatoes

and peppers, to make it a one-dish meal. I've pasted it here, from

Allrecipes, or if you'd like to read the reviews yourself, here's a

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

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 cup uncooked white rice

1 1/2 cups low sodium, low

fat vegetable broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3 1/2 cups canned black

beans, drained

 

Directions

1 In a stockpot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add

the onion and garlic and saute for 4 minutes. Add the rice

and saute for 2 minutes.

2 Add the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, cover and

lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes. Add the spices and

black beans.

 

My notes: 5 minutes before rice is done, stir in about 1 cup chopped

peppers. Cook the remaining 5 minutes and stir in 1 cup chopped

tomatoes just before serving.
