Spicy Black Beans and Rice

[Guest guest]

found this on the Dollare Stretcher newsletter a while back. i've been

looking for a recipe for black beans that would be similar to the ones at

Skyline Chili. i *love* their black beans with onions on spaghetti ...

it's also really good on a baked potato. this makes a LOT, but beans

freeze well, and thaw somewhat quickly if you freeze 'em in ziplock

baggies and lay them flat, so they're thin, and not a big bean-brick.

* 2 c dried black beans

* 1 c chopped onion

* 1 c chopped celery

* 1 c chopped carrot

* 1 medium yellow or green sweet pepper, chopped

* 2 jalapenos, chopped

* 4 cloves of garlic, minced

* 1 tbs ground cumin

* 1 tsp ground coriander

* 1 tbs dried crushed thyme

* 1/2 tsp salt

* 1/4 tsp black pepper

* 2 bay leaves

* 5 cups veggie broth

* 4 c hot cooked rice

 

1. Rinse beans, place in large saucepan. Add enough water to cover

the beans by 2 inches. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Simmer for 2

minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 1 hour. (Or

omit simmering and soak beans in cold water overnight in a covered

pan.) Drain beans.

 

2. In a 3 1/2, 4 or 5 quart slow cooker, put in everything but the

rice.

 

3. Cover, cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.

 

Discard bay leaves. If desired, mash beans slightly with a potato

masher. Serve with hot cooked rice. Serves 8.
