Costa Rican Rice and Beans

By Bostoncook

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp canola oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups cooked white rice
• 2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (2 to 3)
• Salt and pepper
• Cilantro
• Sliced scallion

Preparation

Step 1

1. Saute onion in oil until it just begins to soften. Add garlic, sauté 5 mins, or until onion is golden.

2. Add spices and Worcestershire, stir into onions.

3. Add beans, then rice. Heat through, season to taste. Garnish.

Notes: This was really awesome - deceptively delicious for such an easy meal - done in 15 minutes. Made less rice, fresh ginger, 2 tbsp Worcestershire, upped the cumin a bit. Topped with cilantro, scallion, and diced tomato.
