  • Add 1 cup of drained black beans to the onion mixture in the saute pan, and mash thoroughly with rest of the ingredients in the skillet. Stir in the sugar and the dried oregano.
  • Add the bean and onion mixture to the bean pot. Cover, and simmer for 1 hour, at moderate heat. Add red wine, vinegar, 4 teaspoons dried oregano and cumin. Uncover and cook until sauce thickens. Serve hot.
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 3 cups uncooked basmati rice
  • 2 small limes, juiced
  • 6 cups cold water

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your cumin rice and beans. Look for fresh, plump beans, and use a good quality cumin.
  • Soak your beans overnight: Soaking your beans overnight will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak your beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for a few minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook your rice and beans will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice is best when it is cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and bland.
  • Season to taste: Once your cumin rice and beans are cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more cumin, salt, or pepper.

Conclusion:

Cumin rice and beans is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and beans, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. With a few simple tips, you can make a cumin rice and beans dish that is flavorful and satisfying.
