Quick and Easy Black Beans & Rice |
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 servings rice, prepared to package directions, and kept warm
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, 1/2 drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- cayenne pepper, to taste
- fresh minced cilantro, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan
over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell
pepper, carrots, and garlic, and saute
for about 7 minutes, or until the onion
is very soft and the carrots begin to
soften. Add the can of beans, cumin,
chili powder, cayenne, and cilantro.
Mash the beans up a bit with a potato
masher for a creamier texture. When hot,
taste for seasonings, and add vinegar,
salt and pepper if desired. You
shouldn't need to add much salt, if any.
Serve over rice.
Serves: 2-3
