I just threw this simple recipe together for dinner tonight with some things I had lying around. Very filling, and Mike said it was spiced perfectly!
Serves 3-5 Cook time: 45 minutes
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15 oz. can corn, drained
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/3 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (we like it spicy, though use less or none if you don't!)
Directions:
1. Cook rice. Bring water to a boil, add rice, turn to low heat and cover. Takes approx. 45 minutes.
2. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. The canned beans tend to be a bit tough for my taste, so I boil them for just a couple minutes first.
3. Combine rice with other ingredients. Toss thoroughly and serve alone or Mexican-style in a tortilla with salsa and sour cream!
