Ingredients
  • 5 tbs olive oil
  • 1 red pepper chopped (or green)
  • 2 small to medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp oregano, ground
  • ½ tsp coriander, ground
  • ½ tsp cumin, ground
  • 1 tsp turmeric, ground
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 28 oz can of tomatos, italian style, whole or diced
  • 1½-2½ cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup black beans (pre-soaked, canned or flakes)
  • ¼ cup wild rice
  • ¾ cup basmati rice (or any rice)
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 cup grated old cheddar or any cheese that suits your fancy

Directions
  1. Sauté in 3 Tbsp. olive oil; onion, pepper and garlic until nearly tender. Add 2 Tbs. olive oil in cleared center of pan and once heated through, add oregano, coriander, cumin, turmeric and red pepper flakes. Sauté spices one minute in oil then quickly mix vegetables and seasonings together and sauté another couple minutes.
  2. Alternately, if the frying of the spices is too powerful for you, they may be added when the stock is added.
  3. Heat tomatos in a 6-quart pot and add the sautéd vegetable spice mixture, stock and black beans. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add wild rice and rice and reduce heat to a slow simmer. If using bean flakes they are to be added now.
  5. Cover and cook ten minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed (as with cooking rice). Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let stand, covered for five minutes. May be served with grated cheese on top.

Will have to make as my husband and I both love black beans. Just had homemade black bean soup last week. Thanks for posting.


I love this all by it self, it will match up with nicely with any protein ( Vegetable based or meat, poultry and seafood).
The turmeric gives it a nice yellow color.


1 cup black beans (pre-soaked, canned or flakes)
I have never heard of black bean flakes. Would you please tell me what they are and where to find them?
Thanks


Sounds good!
