Ingredients
- 2 cups white jasmine rice
- 3 cups water I used enough water to cover all the ingredients in the end
- 1 black bean rinsed and drained, canned
- 1/2 cup red pepper diced
- 1 onion diced, medium
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt I tend to like things undersalted so you may need to add more salt later on
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp cumin ground
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil I used sunflower, neutral
- 1 tomato stem/core removed and an X cut at the bottom, medium vine
- cilantro fresh, for garnish
- green onion fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine rice, water, black beans, red pepper, onion, garlic powder, kosher salt, ground coriander, ground cumin, and oil and stir to evenly coat mixture with spices. Sit the tomato in the middle, half submerged in the liquid.
- Ensure that there is enough water to cover all the ingredients. Avoid totally overstuffing your rice cooker (like I did in the video). You may need to cook for a second round without the extra room in the cooker for pressure.
- Allow rice cooker to cook through one cycle, then check if the rice is done. If it's cooked through, smash the tomato and mix into the rest o the mixture. Serve with hot sauce or with some salt, salsa/guac. This rice also makes great filling for burritos or as a base for a burrito bowl.
