Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Brown Rice

    In a medium-sized pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5-10 minutes.

Preparing Beans and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic.

  2. 5

    Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 6

    Add the diced red bell pepper and corn to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 7

    Add the Beans and Spices

    Stir in the rinsed red kidney beans, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it among serving bowls.

  2. 9

    Top each bowl with the bean and vegetable mixture.

  3. 10

    Garnish with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
