Black Beans And Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the Black Beans

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the cooked black beans, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. 4

   Serve

   Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it on plates. Top with the black bean mixture and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
