Recipes

Comfort Food ~Black Beans & Rice

Una Baker | May 6, 2020

Whether it is a rainy cold night in New York or not, sometimes I just may want to prepare a simple dinner.   For me, one of my go-to comfort meals regardless of the season is beans and rice.

Both ingredients are usually in all of our pantries…the seasoning is what will add depth and flavor.  So, here is my version and I hope you enjoy and explore the various seasonings in your cupboard and you create this.

COMFORT FOOD
BLACK BEANS & RICE
serves 2

4-5 Cipollini onions – peeled and sliced in half
4 cloves of garlic – not peeled
1 can Organic black beans – strained
1/4 cup vegetable stock
1 cup brown rice
1/2 cup Italian plum tomatoes, drained and sliced
1 dried ancho chile pepper (https://www.thespicehouse.com/)
salt & pepper
1/2 cup sliced avocado or salsa

Preheat oven – 400F
Place onions on a cast iron pan and drizzle with olive oil.
Roast in oven for approximately 30 minutes.
Lightly wrap garlic cloves in foil with a little olive oil and place in oven next to onions for 45 minutes. I like to add a little fresh thyme or rosemary.
Remove onions and set aside.
Remove garlic and once cooled remove skin.
Toss onion and garlic together in a bowl.
Reduce oven to 190F.
Toss black beans, stock, dried ancho pepper and tomatoes in an oven-safe covered bakeware dish. Bake for an hour.
Cook rice according to directions. I love Massa Organics brand.
While rice is cooking and beans are done, add cooked onions and garlic to baked beans. Salt and Pepper to taste.
To serve…place rice in a bowl, top with beans and finish with avocado or salsa. Both would be great!

Bon Appétit
