RICE AND BEAN BOWL DINNER



Rice and Bean Bowl Dinner image

This dinner bowl recipe comes together in mere minutes and appeals to vegans and omnivores alike. To bring this meal together even faster, make the avocado-cilantro sauce earlier in the day. We like to keep the corn raw for extra crunch and a fresh flavor, but feel free to use cooked, frozen and thawed, or canned corn kernels, if that's what you prefer.

REFRIED BEANS



Refried beans image

Try making this dish to serve at a party - it works well as a dip served with nachos. It's also a great accompaniment to a larger Tex-Mex-style meal

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4 as a topping or 2 as side

Number Of Ingredients 9

400g can black, pinto or kidney beans
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 green chilli, chopped (optional)
1 tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp smoked paprika
chopped coriander, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Lightly drain the beans, reserving the juice from the tin, but do not rinse (you want the beans in about half the liquid from the can). Depending on the texture you prefer, either mash them roughly in a bowl or blitz them using a blender until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole and cook the onions for 8-10 mins until soft and golden. Scatter in the garlic, chilli and cumin seeds, and sizzle everything for 2 mins more. Tip in the beans, oregano, paprika and a pinch of salt. Cook everything together for 5 mins until the beans have heated through adding more reserved bean juice if it's too thick. Serve straightaway with a sprinkling of coriander, if you like, or leave to cool and keep chilled. Will keep chilled for up to three days or frozen for a month. Reheat with a splash of water mixed in.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften the beans and make them easier to cook.
  • Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to make refried beans because it allows you to cook them on low heat for a long period of time. This will help to develop their flavor.
  • Add aromatics: To add flavor to your refried beans, add aromatics like onion, garlic, and cumin. You can also add other spices like chili powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Mash the beans until smooth: Once the beans are cooked, mash them until they are smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a blender.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Refried beans can be served with a variety of toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Refried beans and rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
