Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 15- ounce cans black beans (drained but not rinsed (reserve one can for the end of the process))
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced yellow onion (about half a medium onion)
1 cup diced carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
1 medium jalapeno pepper (seeds removed and finely diced (about 1/4 cup))
1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 - 3 medium cloves)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste if desired
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
10 dashes Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
2 cups cooked brown rice
Fresh lime wedges
Diced tomatoes (cilantro leaves, diced scallions, avocado, sour cream (if you eat dairy) for topping, if desired)

Steps:

  • Add three cans of black beans to a 3-quart or larger Crock Pot.
  • Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and carrots; saute for about five minutes until the onion softens and begins to turn transluscent. Add jalapeno pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper and saute, stirring, for another minute. Add tomato paste, vegetable broth, and Tabasco sauce, stirring until tomato paste is dissolved. Pour into Crock Pot over beans.
  • Cook on low 6 - 8 hours.
  • Remove cover and allow to cool a bit, until safe to handle. Using an immersion blender or working in batches with a blender, puree soup. Return soup to the Crock Pot and add the last can of beans and the rice. Cook on medium for another half hour.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings if desired - add more salt and pepper if you like, a little more Tabasco if you want.
  • Scoop into individual bowls and squeeze a lime wedge over the top of each. Add toppings if desired.
  • Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for three or four days. The soup can thicken over time, so thin with additional vegetable broth before serving leftovers, if desired.

BLACK BEANS 'N' RICE (STOVE-TOP OR CROCK POT)



Black Beans 'n' Rice (Stove-Top or Crock Pot) image

From Taste of Home. I actually prepare these in my slow cooker. Just combine the ingredients (except for the red wine vinegar and 2 teaspoons olive oil) and let them cook all day on low. Add the vinegar and oil before serving. I double or triple the recipe and freeze them in 2 cup portions to use in recipes that call for a can of black beans. I also serve them sometimes with salsa, cheese and sour cream if I don't have the red pepper or jalepenos, as I always have salsa on hand. **PLEASE NOTE** Cooking time is based on original recipe instructions below and not on my slow cooker method.

Sweet Chilean Lime Laced Black Beans & Rice - Crock Pot image

While in search of a vegetarian black bean and rice recipe I happen upon several appealing recipes that included ingredients I found inticing and many that did that not. That being said, I took a little here and there from fellow recipezaar chefs, added a dash of a my own from time to time and created...FLAVA!! This dish is quite versatile. It's sweet, spicy and tart all in one. It's lovely by itself, topped w/pepperjack cheese, tucked into a burrito or thrown in to a crockpot I suppose. Enjoy my friends!
