Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pound dry black beans, sorted for pebbles and rinsed
2 sprigs epazote or Mexican oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 or 2 limes
4 cups cooked white rice
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese

Steps:

  • In a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Saute until the onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, epazote and 6 cups water; stir well, and then lock the lid (following the manufacturer's instructions). Once the beans come up to pressure, turn the heat down to medium to maintain pressure; cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then release the pressure. Remove the epazote, and taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Just before serving, fold the cilantro and lime juice into the cooked rice.

This Black Beans and Rice recipe uses canned beans as a shortcut and is SO quick and easy, vegan, healthy, and protein-packed, with phenomenal fresh flavor and texture. The whole family will love it!

Provided by Elizabeth Lindemann

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup short grain white rice
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
juice of one lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion (finely diced)
28 oz. can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup water
juice of one lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • To make the rice, bring water to a boil, add rice (1 cup) and kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), stir, and simmer until cooked (about 15-20 minutes). When done, fluff with a fork, stir in the cilantro and lime juice, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • While the rice is cooking, make the beans. Sauté the diced onion in the olive oil (1 tablespoon) over medium-high heat in a medium pot until softened and beginning to brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add drained and rinsed black beans, cumin (1 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and water (1 cup). Stir, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Use a potato masher to mash the beans a few times, thickening the mixture, but leaving most of the beans intact. If you don't have a potato masher, you can use a fork on the side of the pot.
  • Stir in the lime juice and fresh chopped cilantro (2 tablespoons) and season with more salt if necessary.
  • Serve the beans on top of the rice as a side or meal.

Provided by Goya

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Goya®

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15.5 ounce) can Goya Black Beans, undrained
1 tablespoon Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Goya Golden Cooking Wine
1 tablespoon Goya Recaito
1 Goya Bay Leaf
1 packet Sazon Goya without Annatto
½ teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon Goya Oregano Leaf, or to taste
½ teaspoon Goya White Vinegar
¼ teaspoon Goya Cumin, or to taste
Goya Adobo with Pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked Canilla Extra Long Grain Rice

Steps:

  • Add 1/4 cup water to 4 quart saucepan over medium heat. Add first 10 ingredients to pot. Bring bean mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors come together, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf; season beans with Adobo.
  • Divide beans evenly among serving plates. Divide cooked rice evenly among plates alongside beans.

Tips:

  • Start with dry beans: Dried black beans are more affordable and nutritious than canned beans. They also have a better texture and flavor after cooking.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight 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 removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of spices: Black beans have a mild flavor, so it's important to use a variety of spices to add flavor to the dish. Some good spices to use include cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Black beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Black beans and rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some good options include grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Black beans and rice is a healthy, affordable, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a little planning, you can have this dish on the table in under an hour. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give black beans and rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
