Black Beans and Rice With Veggies image

This is a modification of a simpler recipe I found online - I used less beans and added celery, carrots, and tomatoes, plus a few other mods. I'm just posting it so I can get the nutritional values of this version, but if someone else wants to use it, enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 6 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup celery, chopped (about 2 stalks)
1/2 cup carrot, chopped
1 cup diced tomato
3/4 cup uncooked brown rice
1 1/2-2 cups vegetable stock (I used homemade stock)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
1 (15 ounce) can organic black beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots, and saute for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable broth and spices. Bring to a boil, then cover, lower the heat, and cook for about 25-30 minutes until the rice is cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. You may need to add stock (or water) if the rice isn't quite fully cooked; if so, add sparingly, 1/4 cup at a time.
  • Add the black beans, stirring to mix. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, until the beans are hot, then serve.
  • This would also be good if you add chopped red bell pepper to the veggie mix. For a garnish, Greek yogurt is a tasty (and much healthier) substitute for sour cream.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but this recipe changed my mind. The beans were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were colorful and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked the vegetables.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. Overall, it's a good recipe but it needs a little tweaking.

This was a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used brown rice instead of white rice, and I added some chopped cilantro at the end. It was delicious!
