Rice and beans are a wonderful combination of
two cheap and easy-to-find ingredients that can fill you up with their amazing
flavor. This dish is not only yummy but also simple to prepare. You can use
canned black beans or cook your own beans in an instant pot after soaking them
overnight. There are endless ways to season your rice and beans, depending on
what kind of cuisine you prefer. I'm from
Ingredients:
1 cup Jasmin rice
1/2 cup dried black beans
Seasonings:
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped white onion
1/2 cup chopped red, green, and yellow, bell
peppers
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 /4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
1 tsp mushroom seasoning
1/4 cup oil to cook
Directions:
Soak the beans overnight and drain them.
Then, put them in the instant pot with enough water to cover them. Set the
pressure cook function for 10 minutes. After that, let the pressure release
naturally for 10 minutes. Drain the beans again and save the bean water for
later.
Next, wash and drain the rice.
In a sauté pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil and add
all the seasoning ingredients. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add
the rice and toss it with the seasoning and the rest of the oil.
Now, transfer all the rice to the rice
cooker. Add the cooked beans and enough bean water to cover the rice. For
jasmine rice, you'll need about 1 1/4 cups of water. Close the lid and follow
the instructions of your rice cooker.
If you don't have a rice cooker, you can use
a medium saucepan instead. Just follow the same steps as above but bring the
rice and bean mixture to a boil and then simmer with a lid for 20 minutes or
until all the liquid is absorbed.
That's it! You have a hearty and tasty meal
ready to enjoy! I hope you like this recipe as much as I do!
