Method
Prepare Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Prepare Beans
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- 4
Sauté Onion and Garlic
Add 0.5 cups of chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- 5
Add Beans and Spices
Stir in 1 cup of black beans along with 1 tsp of cumin, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and well combined with the spices.
