Ingredients

    1 cup rice, whole grain wild rice blend (Rice Select)
    2.5 cups water
    2.5 tsp Herbox no sodium chicken broth
    1 tbsp dried parsley
    2 tsp italian seasoning
    .25 tsp black pepper
    .25 tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
    1 tsp olive oil
    1 can low sodium organic black beans (Private Select)

Directions

Makes 6 servings. Mix everything except beans in sauce pan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer 40 minutes. Rinse and drain black beans. Stir beans into simmering rice, bring back to simmer, recover and simmer for 5 minutes until most of the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes.

I like to add a can of no salt added diced tomatoes. Drain the liquid into measuring cup and add water to 2.5 cups. Add diced tomatoes with the black beans. Per serving will add:
