Rice & Beans

Method

Rice & Beans

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the rice to the pot and stir for 2 minutes to toast it slightly.

  3. 3

    Pour in the vegetable broth, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Combine with Beans

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the black beans and lime juice. Mix well and remove from heat.
