ONE-POT RICE AND BEANS



One-Pot Rice and Beans image

Not only is rice with beans adored the world over (see: gallo pinto, khichdi, hoppin' John and Caribbean rice and peas), it even has its own Wikipedia page. This deeply flavored rendition is inspired by these comforting traditions and a desire to wash as few dishes as possible: The rice cooks with the beans and the starchy liquid they're canned in. As the two ingredients cook together, the beans disperse and glom onto the rice. For an extra kick, sauté chopped jalapeño with the onions, or add 1/4 cup salsa with the stock.
