Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 package RightRice Spanish rice
  • 1 1/3 cups vegetable stock or water
  • 6 sweet mini peppers sliced into rings
  • 1 15- ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 lime halved
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • In a medium fry pan, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the RightRice to coat the grains with the oil. Add the stock or the water, bring to a quick simmer, and immediately turn off the heat. Cover and allow to sit for 12 minutes.
  • While the rice sits, heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the mini peppers and another pinch of salt and cook for 2 minutes until the peppers are barely soft. Remove.
  • Using the same pan, gently warm the black beans over low heat with a tablespoon of water. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • After 12 minutes, fluff the rice with a fork. Squeeze the juice of ½ of a lime over the rice, then stir in another teaspoon of olive oil if desired.
  • Divide the rice evenly between four bowls. Place a generous spoonful of beans on top of each, then garnish with the mini peppers and cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge.
