Black Beans and Rice image

There's a lot of beans and rice recipes already here, but it seems I can't get enough of them. This one comes from Real Simple magazine, and it's different than the types I normally make since it doesn't have tomatoes, and it is also a mild-flavored dish.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided (or to taste, I don't use it since the beans and broth are salty enough)
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups long-grain rice, uncooked
1 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups green bell peppers or 1 1/2 cups red bell peppers, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, undrained
1 cup vegetable broth or 1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground (or to taste, I use more)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 cup scallion, sliced

Steps:

  • Combine water with 1 tsp salt and 1 1/2 tsp olive oil in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Stir in rice, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the rest of the olive oil over medium heat; saute onion, bell pepper and garlic about 5 minutes or until softened.
  • Add beans, broth, vinegar, bay leaves, black pepper, cumin, and the rest of the salt; cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes; remove bay leaves.
  • Serve beans over the rice and top with scallions.
  • Serves 4 as a main dish, 6-8 as a side.
