Rice & Beans

Method

Rice & Beans

  1. 1

    Prep

    Open and drain the canned black beans; rinse under cold running water until the liquid runs clear.

  2. 2

    Sauté aromatics

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add garlic and spices

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder; toast for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

  4. 4

    Simmer beans

    Add drained beans, water or vegetable broth, and lime juice. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 8-10 minutes to meld flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.

  5. 5

    Finish

    Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve the beans over steamed rice or alongside it, with extra lime wedges if desired.
