Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Brown Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Preparing the Black Beans

  1. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the drained black beans, vegetable broth, beer, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

  4. 5

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Dish
