New recipe!!!

I Just wanted to give you all my new favorite recipe!


Cuban Black-Bean Stew with Rice
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 red Bell Pepper Chopped
2 cans (19 oz each) black beans, rinse and drained
1 can (14.5 ounces) vegetable broth
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
coarse salt and ground pepper
garnish- lime wedges fresh cilantro and sliced radishes


Prepare rice
heat oil in a large saucepan over medium.
Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper.
Cook stirring occasionally, until onion is softened.

Add beans, broth, vinegar, and oregano.
Cook, mashing some beans with the back of the spoon, until slightly thickened.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve beans over rice, with garnishes if desired.


I hope you all like this! It's my new favorite thing to make! I cook my own beans so I mash about 1/2 cup and put them in it makes it nice and thick. I cook cilantro and green chilies with my rice! I don't usually use the garnishes!
enjoy!!!
