BLACK BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• 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.
• Add the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, cover and lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes. Add the spices and black beans.

BROWN RICE AND BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Make the beans: Bring water, beans, jalapeno, onions, garlic, vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to a simmer in a medium pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Add more water, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, make the rice: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the rice. Cook until rice is slightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add water, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and gently simmer, covered, until rice absorbs water, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, and season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with beans.

BLACK BEANS WITH BROWN RICE

Steps:

BROWN RICE AND BEANS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in saucepan over medium heat. Cook the rice according to the directions on the package. Cut the sausage into 2-inch cubes, add it to the saucepan and cook until well browned. Add the beans and their juices and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes. The beans should not need salt, as the sausage is salty. Season to taste with pepper. To serve, spoon the hot rice into a serving bowl and pour the sausage and bean mixture over the rice.

BROWN RICE WITH WHITE BEANS AND HUMMUS

Steps:

• Place the rice, water, salt, pepper and thyme in a saucepan and bring to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and leave for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and cooked.
• Drain and rinse the can of beans. When the rice is almost completely cooked, put the beans in the pot and cook until the rice is done and the beans are warmed through.
• Before serving, dollop a tablespoon or two of hummus into the rice and beans. I like using roasted garlic or red bell pepper hummus, but this is up to you.
• Enjoy!
