I found this on a OAMC website, which credits Healthy Meals in Minutes for this recipe. This was pretty easy, and nummy. This could also probably be made in a rice cooker (especially after thawing a frozen batch). I did the stovetop cooking for my two batches separately, since I was baking one batch for dinner and freezing the second. This worked out well for me.

Ingredients

  • olive oil2 teaspoons
  • small yellow onion, chopped1 cup
  • small green bell pepper, chopped1 cup
  • garlic cloves, minced2 teaspoons
  • long grain white rice1 cup
  • ground cumin1 teaspoon
  • cooked black beans or 15 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained2 cups
  • (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained1 cup
  • water3⁄4 cup
  • hot pepper sauce (optional)1⁄4 teaspoon

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; saute until golden, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add rice and cumin; cook while stirring, for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Stir in beans, tomatoes with liquid, water and hot pepper sauce. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon. Increase the heat to HIGH and bring to a boil.
