2 cloves garlic, minced |
2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano or 1 teaspoon dried |

Add garlic, oregano, celery, carrot, cumin and chili flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender but not mushy, about 6 minutes. Stir in black beans and cook until just warmed through, about 1-2 minutes. 3. Combine onion-black bean mixture and hot rice in a serving bowl and toss to combine. Garnish with parsley. 4.
