Categories     Bean

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup quick-cooking brown rice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped (or 1 cup frozen, thawed)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
2 (15-ounce) cans low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (13.5-ounce) can lite coconut milk
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 mango, diced (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook rice according to package directions (omitting any fat). 2. Heat oil in large, deep skillet over medium high; add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, until somewhat softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. 3. Stir in curry paste, black beans, tomatoes, coconut milk and brown sugar; simmer 20 minutes. 4. Stir in lime zest and juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in mango, if using. Serve over rice

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful rice. Basmati or jasmine rice are both good choices, as they have a light, fluffy texture and a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Cook the rice according to the package directions, or until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Use a variety of beans. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all good choices. You can also use a mix of beans.
  • Season the beans well. Use a combination of spices, such as cumin, chili powder, and paprika, to flavor the beans.
  • Add vegetables. Vegetables such as onions, peppers, and carrots add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good choices. You can also use water, but the broth will add more flavor to the dish.
  • Simmer the dish for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the broth.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
