Ingredients

  • 1 corn cob or ¾ cup frozen corn
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 green pepper diced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1/4 medium red onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Jalapeño diced
  • 1 cup Mahatma Long Grain Rice
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 14 ounces vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • avocado diced
  • cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Shuck the corn and remove the silks. Place an ear of corn right on a burner. Light your gas stove and turn heat to medium-high. Roast the corn over the gas flame, turning every minute or so until the kernels are charred in various places all around the corn.
  2. Remove corn from heat and let cool.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut off the corn kernels and set aside.
  4. In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté peppers and onion 3 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño; cook and stir 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in rice, chili powder, and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
  6. Stir in corn, black beans, and tomatoes; cook, covered, until heated through.
  7. Serve warm with diced avocado and cilantro.

Notes

  • If you would like to add meat to this dish, you can slice up grilled bratwurst or cubes of grilled chicken for a heartier meal.
  • This dish can be made with Mahatma Brown Rice instead of white rice, but you will need to increase the cook time from 15 minutes to 35 to 40 minutes.
