Rice & Beans Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Rice and Spices

   Add the rice, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine and toast the rice for about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

4. 4

   Add Beans

   Once the rice is cooked, stir in the canned black beans (drained and rinsed). Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the beans are heated through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Fluff the rice and beans with a fork, mix in the chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
