This is my favorite emergency meal, made almost entirely of pantry ingredients when a trip to the store has been missed or is out of the question for some reason. Ingredients:
3/4 cup uncooked white rice |
2 cups water |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans; drain and reserve liquid |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons dried cilantro |
Directions:
1. Bring a medium size pot of water to a boil, add rice. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Let rice simmer 15-20 minutes, until tender.
2. Place beans and rice in a medium size saucepan. Heat over a medium heat, stirring frequently. Stir in reserved bean liquid as needed. Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice, garlic powder and cilantro. Let sit a moment, and stir in fresh oregano. Serve immediately.
