Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse and Drain Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water. This helps remove excess starch. Allow it to drain well.
- 2
Prep Vegetables
Dice the red bell pepper and onion into small pieces. Set aside.
Cooking
- 3
Sauté Onions and Peppers
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- 4
Add Spices
Stir in the cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- 5
Combine Rice and Broth
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan, stirring to combine with the sautéed vegetables and spices. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring to a boil.
- 6
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.
- 7
Add Beans and Tomatoes
After the rice is cooked, stir in the canned black beans (drained and rinsed) and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
