Jazzing it up with colorful toppings transforms it into an exciting meal, chock-full of varying textures and flavors. Not only is this a staple for my family, it's become my default party dish for a crowd.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 to 4 1/4 cups Kemp's black beans
1 cup hulled (green) pumpkin seeds (also called pepitas; not toasted)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Accompaniments: cubes of avocado tossed with lime juice; tomatillo salsa; lime wedges; chopped white onion; fresh cilantro sprigs
1 lime juice
1 tomatillo salsa
1 lime wedges
1 white onion
1 fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Toss sweet potatoes with oil and salt, then spread in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan. Roast, stirring and turning over once or twice, until tender and browned, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Bring water, rice, and salt to a boil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat and cook, tightly covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let stand, covered, off heat 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

BLACK BEANS & RICE WITH FRIED EGG, AVOCADO & PICKLED ONIONS



Black beans & rice with fried egg, avocado & pickled onions image

Turn a tin of black beans and some rice into a hearty brunch dish with a fried egg and creamy avocado. This simple veggie recipe is full of flavour

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

200g long grain rice
groundnut oil or flavourless oil, plus extra for frying
350g tomatoes , chopped
3 garlic cloves , peeled and grated
6 spring onions , chopped
2 red chillies and 1 green chilli, halved, deseeded and chopped
½ tsp dried oregano
2 tsp ground cumin
400g can black beans , drained and rinsed
4 eggs
3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
2 limes , juiced (or to taste - you might not need as much)
pickled chillies (you can buy them in jars), sliced avocado and soured cream (optional), to serve

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a saucepan with some salt and cover with about 5cm water. Bring to the boil and keep boiling until the water has disappeared and the surface of the rice looks 'pitted', as if there are little holes all over it. Immediately turn the heat down to the lowest setting and cover the pan with a lid. Leave to cook for 15 mins. By this time, the rice should be tender.
  • In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and cook the tomatoes over a medium heat for about 7 mins. Add the garlic, spring onions, chillies, oregano and cumin, season and cook for another 2 mins. Tip in the drained beans, stir them round and taste for seasoning.
  • Add the rice to the pan with the tomatoes, beans and some seasoning. Heat through, then cover. Quickly heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry the eggs. Season.
  • Stir the coriander into the rice and bean mixture and squeeze over the lime juice. Serve the rice and beans with a fried egg on top alongside some pickled chillies, slices of avocado and a good dollop of soured cream, if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Black beans are a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of beans, such as kidney beans, pinto beans, or black-eyed peas.
  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then turning off the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good-quality rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and bland.
  • Add the avocado at the end: Avocado is a delicate fruit, so it should be added to the dish just before serving. This will help to prevent it from browning.

Conclusion:

Black beans with rice and avocado is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish. It is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a potluck or party. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more flavorful and enjoyable. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give black beans with rice and avocado a try!
