Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Black Beans and Rice Dish.
Step 1
Start by warming a splash of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, letting it shimmer just a bit.
Step 2
Toss in your chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring them around until they soften and become fragrant, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Next, pour in some water, and then add the black beans, a sprinkle of ground cumin, and a beef bouillon cube for that extra depth of flavor.
Step 4
Bring this delightful mixture to a lively boil, letting the aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 5
Once boiling, stir in the rice, cover the saucepan with a lid, and lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Allow it to cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, which will take around 20 minutes.
Step 7
When the rice is perfectly cooked, gently fold in the Creole seasoning and dried cilantro, mixing everything together until well combined.
