Introduction
Warm, comforting, fast, and delicious! Warm, comforting, fast, and delicious!Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
2 cans black beans
1 cup rice
1 T canola
1 can diced tomatoes (or use salsa!)
1/2 to 1 jalapeno
1 onion, diced
5 cloves garlic
2 cups water
Spice mix: (roast, cool, grind)
1 t cumin
2 t coriander
1/2 t cinnamon (or 1/2 a stick)
1 t salt
Directions
If you're in a hurry: Plop everything into a pot, bring up to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes (until it dries up most of the way and the rice is cooked). Then cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
If you have a few minutes:
Brown the onions over medium heat, add garlic and spice mix, cook for another minute. Add everything else. Mix. Bring up to a boil then simmer for 20 minutes (until rice is done and most of the moisture is gone), then cover for 5 minutes.
Enjoy the comforting deliciousness!
Great with:
-fresh oregano
-yogurt!!
-cheddar
-use salsa instead of the canned tomatoes
Also great to use as a stuffing for bell peppers or to make burritos.
I estimated 6 hearty portions for dinner, but I get at least 8 out of it myself- especially if I eat it with yogurt!

This was excellent. My family and I love black beans and rice; and as quick as it is to make, this recipe made it even quicker, which is just what I was looking for. I followed the recipe as is but added apple cider vinegar and oregano. I find that those two ingredients really make the meal. Thanks! - 5/18/11
