Ingredients
-
1 Can black beans, drained and well rinsed
1 Large green pepper, chopped
1 Med-Large Onion, Chopped
2 ears of fresh corn, (cooked in advance from previous meal) remove kernels from ears
1 Tbsp Tomato paste 2 TBSP water
Chili powder, hot sauce of your choice, pepper and salt to taste
Directions
Prep time is shorter if your corn is pre-cooked.
Boil the corn and set aside.
Put rice on to cook in rice cooker or pot (like me!)
While rice is cooking, chop onion and green pepper and rinse black beans.
When rice has 5-10 minutes left, put green pepper and onion in large non stick pot or use pam on steel pot, and add half of your chili powder and pepper with a dash of salt. Stir fry until tender. Add remaining ingredients ecept the rice. Mix and heat through.
Make a well in the middle for all juices, add water and tomato paste and mix until all vegetables are glazed. Add rice, mix together and add remaining chili powder, pepper and salt to taste, and additional hot sauce if needed.
To totally reduce the sodium, use sodium free tomato paste, fresh black beans you cook yourself, and no added salt. Brown rice will reduce the glycemic index.
Makes 6 servings.
