RECIPE: Black Beans and Rice (Vegan) - 2 ways to cook.

[Guest guest]

BLACK BEANS AND RICE (VEGAN)

 

This is an easy fix if you like to use a slow

cooker/crockpot. If not, reduce the liquid used, and

use 2 cans (4 cups) of black beans, rinsed and

drained, and cook for half an hour or more until

flavours are blended. Serves 6 with rice.

 

2 cups (1 lb or 450 g.) dried black beans

1 large bell pepper/capsoum, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

3 bay leaves

1 - 14-1/2 oz can chopped tomatoes with juice (of half

of one of those big cans)

5 cups water or vegetable stock

5 tsp ground cumin

2 jalapenos, finely chopped, or more if liked

salt to taste

cayenne, if needed, to increase the heat, depending on

taste, a few minutes before the end

Garnish with chopped green onion, cilantro/coriander

leaves, or what you will.

Rice for serving

 

 

Throw it all into a slow cooker/crockpot and cook on

high for 6 to 8 hours. Taste for seasoning in the last

15 or 20 minutes of cooking. Garnish and serve over

hot rice.

 

We had it for lunch yesterday - and usually have it a

couple of times a month.
