Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Vegan

Yield 10 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups white rice
3 cans cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can petite diced tomatoes with juice
3 3/4 cup vegetable broth
Juice of 1 lime or to taste
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground ancho
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon thyme
Black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a 3 quart pot, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low or to a very low simmer, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender. There should still be "sauce" in the rice and beans when it is served.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use freshly cooked rice. If you're using leftover rice, make sure it's cold and has been stored properly.
  • Rinse the black beans thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any impurities and reduce the cooking time.
  • If you don't have any fresh cilantro on hand, you can use dried cilantro instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried cilantro is more concentrated.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of beans in this recipe. Pinto beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas are all good choices.
  • This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Just add them to the skillet along with the black beans and rice.
  • If you want a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the skillet.

Conclusion:

This easy black beans and rice recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
