Categories     Bean     Side

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

FOR THE BEANS
8 cups water, plus more if needed
1 bag (1 pound) dried black beans, picked over, rinsed, and drained
1 jalapeno chile, halved and seeded
2 medium onions, quartered
5 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
FOR THE RICE
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups long-grain brown rice
3 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • 1.Make the beans: Bring water, beans, jalapeno, onions, garlic, vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to a simmer in a medium pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Add more water, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed.) Season with salt and pepper. 2.Meanwhile, make the rice: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons salt, teaspoon pepper, and the rice. Cook until rice is slightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add water, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and gently simmer, covered, until rice absorbs water, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, and season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with beans.

I'm sorry, but this recipe is just not good. The flavors don't work well together and the texture is off.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The rice was mushy and the beans were undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but I really enjoyed this dish. The spices and herbs really masked the flavor of the beans.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The rice and beans cook up in no time, and the spices give it a lot of flavor. I also love that it's a vegetarian dish, so it's a good option for meatless Mondays.
