Ingredients

  • 30 ounces black beans 2 - 15 ounce cans each, drained
  • 1 ½ cups brown rice
  • 3 ½ cups vegetable broth low sodium, for rice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • ¼ cup tomatoes diced

  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cook the brown rice in any method you choose. I use a rice cooker and I like to cook the rice with vegetable broth for this recipe.
  • In a large skillet heat the oil to medium and then add the onion and bell pepper.
  • Saute until the onion becomes transparent, about 10 minutes.
  • Add all the other ingredients (except the rice) to the large skillet that has the onion and bell pepper.
  • Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add the rice and heat through.
