BLACK BEAN AND YELLOW RICE SALAD image

Number Of Ingredients 17

For Rice:
3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
2 3/4 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 2/3 cups drained and rinsed canned black beans (from one 15-ounce can)
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lime, quartered, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • FOR RICE: In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, turmeric, cumin, 1 teaspoon of the salt, black pepper and rice. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the water and bay leaf; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is done, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. TO SERVE: In a large bowl, combine the rice, beans, bell pepper and tomatoes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, the vinegar and parsley. Toss gently to combine. Serve with lime wedges, if using.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I used less chili powder and it was perfect.

I'm allergic to black beans, so I used chickpeas instead. The salad was still very good.
