Categories     side-dish

Time 13h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2 cups dried black beans
Fail-Proof Brown Rice, recipe follows
9 cups water, plus more for soaking beans
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 1/2 cups seeded, chopped green bell pepper
3 tablespoons minced garlic or pickled garlic
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano, dried
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
3/4 dry Spanish wine
1 1/2 cups brown rice
1 egg white, beaten
3 cups water
1/2 chicken bouillon cube
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Add the beans to a large bowl, cover with water and let stand overnight. Drain and discard the water or cook in a pressure cooker for 18 to 25 minutes (do not discard the water if using the pressure cooker).
  • In a large Dutch oven, add the beans, 9 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 1 hour until the beans are fork tender.
  • In a separate Dutch oven add the onion, green pepper, garlic and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute until opaque. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. (If using a pressure cooker, do not use the pressure cooker to saute the beans any further. Use a heavy pot or a Dutch oven.)
  • Add the cooked beans, to the pot with the onion mixture, along with the oregano, cumin, bay leaf, vinegar and wine. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add additional salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the beans to a serving bowl and serve over the Fail-Proof Brown Rice.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet, add the brown rice and the egg white, stirring constantly over medium heat, until the mixture is dry. Mix the water and bouillon cube in a medium bowl.
  • Add a small amount of olive oil to a deep, large baking dish. (Cook's Note: I recommend a clear baking dish so you can monitor the water absorption).
  • Pour the bouillon water, rice and egg mixture into the baking dish. Put the dish in the oven, and do not interrupt the cooking process. After 30 minutes, cover with foil and continue to cook for 30 more minutes, a total of 1 hour. Remove from oven, fluff with fork and serve.

CROCKPOT VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH BEANS AND BROWN RICE



Crockpot Vegetarian Chili With Beans and Brown Rice image

Somewhere between chili and borracho beans. Delicious, easy to prepare, nutritious, great for week lunches. Cooking beans in a crock pot turns out perfectly cooked, creamy beans every time. Servings are just a guess-sorry! It filled a medium size crock pot (curry cooker in the Middle East). Add more chipotles in adobo if you like spicier food.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 8h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups dry mixed beans (I used a mix of pinto and cranberry)
1 large onion, coarsely diced
3 garlic cloves, smashed (more or less to preference)
1 chicken bouillon cube (ham seasoning if you have it! sub veg bouillon if vegetarian)
6 cups water
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo, diced (~2 chiles)
1/2-1 cup diced tomato
1 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 cup brown rice, cooked

Steps:

  • 1. Combine beans, onions, garlic, bouillon, and water in crock pot. Cook on LOW for 6 hours (or more-I cooked the beans overnight).
  • 2. Add remaining ingredients except rice, continue to cook on low for 1-2 hours. Add more water if needed, you want it to be pretty soupy since the rice will absorb a lot of liquid.
  • 3. Just before serving, add brown rice and stir to combine.
  • 4. Garnish with chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of sharp cheddar, diced green onions.
