Easy Black Beans and Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 0.75 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups low sodium, low fat vegetable broth
• 3.5 cups canned black beans, drained

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
2. In a saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, approximately 3 minutes.
3. Incorporate the rice, minced garlic, salt, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the rice to lightly toast and the spices to release their aroma.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
5. Add the black beans and stir until they are heated through, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
