Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Black Beans and Rice.
Step 1
Begin by warming olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, allowing it to shimmer.
Step 2
Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring them together until the onion becomes tender and translucent, which should take about four minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce the uncooked rice, ensuring each grain is lovingly coated in the fragrant oil.
Step 4
Sauté this mixture for an additional two minutes, stirring frequently to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Now, pour in the vegetable broth and bring the concoction to a lively boil.
Step 6
Once it reaches that bubbling point, cover the saucepan, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, and let it cook undisturbed until the liquid is fully absorbed, roughly twenty minutes.
Step 7
When the rice is perfectly cooked, gently fold in the drained black beans, along with ground cumin and a dash of cayenne pepper for a hint of heat.
Step 8
Allow everything to warm together for a few more minutes, creating a delightful medley of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
Step 9
Enjoy this comforting dish that brings warmth and satisfaction to your table.
