Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin ground
  • 2 cups white rice long grain or jasmine
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (14 ounces) cans black beans drained and rinsed
  • 3-4 tablespoons lime juice adjusted to taste
  • 4 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped, or parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the cumin and rice to coat and lightly toast them.
  2. Add chicken broth and black beans to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Stir halfway through cooking.
  3. Remove from heat. Drizzle with additional olive oil and lime juice, then stir in the chopped cilantro or parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
