Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups water

1 cup tomato juice

1 1/2 cups brown rice

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 large onion -- chopped

2 cloves garlic -- minced

2 medium sweet potatoes -- peeled and diced

4 cups cooked black beans -- drained and rinsed

OR 2 1-pound cans

1 large red bell pepper -- diced

1 cup diced ripe tomatoes

OR 1 cup canned diced tomatoes

1 small fresh hot green chili

OR more to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Salt to taste

 

Serves: 6 to 8

 

A vegetarian version of Brazil's famous national dish, this stew is

abundant with nourishing ingredients. I love the contrast of the black

beans and sweet potatoes, both flavor-wise and visually. Served with

steamed fresh greens and a tropical fruit salad.

 

Combine the water and tomato juice in a large saucepan and bring to a

simmer. Add the rice, then lower the heat and simmer gently, covered,

until all the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes.

 

Heat the oil in a large soup pot or steep-sided stir-fry pan. Add the

onion and saut‚ over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and

continue to saut‚ until the onion is golden.

 

Stir the diced sweet potatoes into the pot along with 1 1/2 cups of water.

Bring to a simmer, then simmer gently, covered, until the sweet potato dice

are just tender but still firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Add the beans, bell pepper, tomatoes, and chili. Simmer gently for 15

minutes more, uncovered. Stir in the parsley or cilantro and season to

taste with salt. Serve over the hot cooked rice.
