Black Beans & Rice

By bklynmommy

Ingredients

• Directions:
• 1 Can of Black Beans in Sauce (I use Publix Brand)
• 1/2 White Onion - Finely Diced
• 1-2 Cloves Garlic - Grated
• 1/4 Cup Mojo Sauce (also Publix Brand)
• Juice of 1 - 2 Limes
• If the limes are sort of dry, I juice 2... if nice and juicy- one will do the trick!
• 2 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper
• Cayenne (for the brave...)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 2 TBS of Oilve Oil in a Small Saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onions to the hot pan and allow to soften and begin to brown (stirring every so often). This should take about 3-4 minutes. Add the Garlic, and cook for an additional 45 seconds- 1 minutes (stirring constantly). Garlic burns easily, so keep a close eye. There is nothing worse that burned garlic!

Next, pour the Can of Black Beans in (do not drain- add all the sauce). Stir and then add the Mojo, Lime Juice, Salt & Pepper. If you like things spicy, add a dash (or two) of cayenne (The hubs and I LOVE our food with a kick!). Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes while you cook your rice.

To Serve: Scoop a heafty spoonful over some nice hot white or brown rice.
