Not sure where this recipe came from, but it's delicious.

*I use vegetable bouillon instead

Ingredients

• 1 box (8 oz) yellow rice mix
• 2 teaspoons oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 chicken bouillon cube*
• 1 box (10 oz) frozen chopped kale or spinach
• 2 cans (15.5 oz each) black beans, rinsed
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon each thyme and ground cumin

Preparation

Step 1

1.) Cook rice as package directs.

2.) Heat oil in a 3-qt saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds or until mixture is fragrant.

3.) Add 1 cup water, the bouillon cube and kale or spinach. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes until kale or spinach thaws. Add beans, paprika, thyme and cumin; simmer 5 minutes. Serve over rice.
