Black Beans and rice

This recipe was a little bland. Yes, it had some spice with the cumin and cayenne pepper, but others suggested to add tomatoes, and I think I should have. I added a little green and red pepper, but I should have added more. Mix it up a little and see what happens.

SUBMITTED BY: Robyn Webb


INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup uncooked white rice
1 1/2 cups low sodium, low fat vegetable broth (I used chicken broth)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 1/2 cups canned black beans, drained
DIRECTIONS
In a stockpot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 4 minutes. Add the rice and saute for 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, cover and lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes. Add the spices and black beans.

We wrapped it in warm tortillas and added fresh tomatoes and sour cream, it was pretty good.
