Black Bean Rice And Feta Recipes

QUICK AND EASY BLACK BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• To make the rice, bring water to a boil, add rice (1 cup) and kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), stir, and simmer until cooked (about 15-20 minutes). When done, fluff with a fork, stir in the cilantro and lime juice, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• While the rice is cooking, make the beans. Sauté the diced onion in the olive oil (1 tablespoon) over medium-high heat in a medium pot until softened and beginning to brown (about 2-3 minutes).
• Add drained and rinsed black beans, cumin (1 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and water (1 cup). Stir, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Use a potato masher to mash the beans a few times, thickening the mixture, but leaving most of the beans intact. If you don't have a potato masher, you can use a fork on the side of the pot.
• Stir in the lime juice and fresh chopped cilantro (2 tablespoons) and season with more salt if necessary.
• Serve the beans on top of the rice as a side or meal.
