This is a very common, daily use dish in a lot of spanish and island cultures ((bahamian, coasta rican, jamaican, etc)). It's easy and adds a little flair to regular rice as a side for things like grilled fish or chicken. ((Ginger-glazed mahi mahi recipe below!!))
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 can of beans of your choice ((black beans are more popular for this dish))
1 medium onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced/crushed
1 3/4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
1 tsp cumin/zeera powder
1/4 tsp red chili powder
Heat oil over medium heat and add the onions and garlic and sautee for a couple minutes until slightly tender and translucent. Add the rice and sautee for a minute or so. Add the cumin and chili poweder and stir well. Add the broth, stir and cook uncovered. When the rice looks halfway cooked, add the beans, cover and cook over low heat until the rice is done.
