Classic Black Beans & Rice
Everyone needs a few easy weekend night meals to pull out of their hat. Here is a wonderful Classic Black Beans & Rice recipe that is truly a faithful friend. If you want to add meat then either add chicken or fish. Shrimp is a good choice for a homespun Cajun night.
INGREDIENTS
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3/4 Cup Finely Chopped Onion
1/2 Cup Chopped Green or Red Bell Pepper
3 Minced Garlic Cloves
2 Cups Cooked Black Beans (Undrained)
3/4 Cup Water
1 Teaspoon Oregano
2 Teaspoons Chili Powder
1 Tablespoon Vinegar
In a medium size saucepan heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions, peppers and garlic. Cook for 8 minutes until they are nice and tender. Stir in the beans, water, oregano, chili powder and vinegar. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve over hot white or brown rice. Serves 4
