Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 15 oz can cooked black beans, drained
3 cups ' day old' cooked rice
1 1/2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
4 tbsp broth ( ideally beef , but chicken will do)
1/2 tbsp tabasco sauce , optional
1 handful of cilantro, finely chopped
6 strips bacon, cooked, drained , crumbled. reserve a little for garnish.
salt and pepper

Directions:

Saute onion and bell pepper in oil on medium heat. Add beans and cook 2 minutes longer. Add cooked rice and mix, cook 3 minutes more. Add Worcestershire Sauce, Tabasco Sauce, broth, cilantro, and bacon and mix well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and if the rice seems too dry add a wee bit more broth. Garnish with reserved bacon crumbs. If desired, top with sour cream.
*1 cup uncooked rice yields about 3 cups cooked. I use Jasmine, but feel free to experiment. If you’re making your rice the same day, pop it into the refrigerator for bit to give it a chance to “age.”
