SPICY RED BEANS AND RICE



Spicy Red Beans and Rice image

I guess I'm one of those women "who have moved from the country in body but not in heart"! Although I'm an attorney in a large city, my parents are ranchers. And, since they once grew rice, that's a staple of my cooking. Because of my busy schedule, I like dishes like this that can be easily reheated throughout the week. This was actually a soup recipe when I first found it. I needed a side dish, however, so I simply reduced the amount of water.

SPICY BLACK BEANS AND RICE



Spicy Black Beans and Rice image

I like to use 3 differently colored bell peppers if I can, then I tell my youngest that we are having rainbow beans. I start the rice in my rice cooker before I start chopping veggies. They are a good way to use up those veggies in your fridge that need using! I like to chop enough veggies for several batches, then freeze them for future use.
