Rice and beans is a classic dish found in many cuisines around the world and offers a hearty and nutritious meal. The soft texture of the rice complements the creamy richness of the beans, creating a comforting and flavorful ensemble that's enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
Ingredients:
-
1 can high quality black beans or refried beans
-
2 cups long grain rice
-
1 can chopped tomatoes
Directions:
-
For the beans, open the can and warm them in a saucepan.
-
For the rice, puree the can of tomatoes, add a healthy pinch of salt, and mix the tomato puree with the rice. Cook the rice however you like to cook rice (reduce the amount of liquid by about ½ cup, since the puree has its own liquid).
