Ingredients

2 cups of rice

2 cups of cooked dried black beans. (reserve the cooking water)

1 small or medium onion finely chopped

1/2 small red pepper finely chopped

3/4 cup of fresh chopped Cilantro

2 cloves of Garlic, Minced

Reserved bean cooking water

4 Tbsp of Olive oil (EVOO)

Directions

Heat oil in a pot over low heat.

Infuse the oil with the whole garlic and half of the onion, red pepper and cilantro for 2 or 3 minutes.

Raise the heat to medium high and saute the rice stiring constantly until light golden colored.

Add the Beans.

Cover the rice and beans with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of the reserved bean cooking water.

Give it a quick stir, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked.

Add the other half of the onion, red pepper and cilantro anf fluff the rice gently with a fork.

Enjoy

P.S. Sorry if i'm a bit vague about the quantities and cooking time. I'm just really intuitive when i cook rice. Rice is one of those ``It's ready when you know it's ready`` Type of ingredients. It requires practice but when you know how to cook a good rice, it is quite rewarding.

Mmmm!Love me some rice!So when u saute the rice, it doesnt burn it since the oil is in the pan right???I think i might try this and subsitute the black beans with gandules (pigeon peas) they turn out to look like tiny brown beans.This sounds excellent...
