Black Beans and Rice Dish

Ingredients List

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 1 onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ¾ cup uncooked white rice

• 1 ½ cups low sodium, low fat vegetable broth

• 3 ½ cups canned black beans, drained

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Collect all necessary ingredients beforehand.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking and stirring until the onion softens, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the rice to coat it evenly; cook and stir for 2 minutes.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover, lower the heat, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Mix in the beans, cumin, and cayenne pepper; cook until the beans are heated through.

Serve and savor the dish!
