Prep vegetables, rice, and beans
Cutting Board
Can opener
Chef’s knife
Fine-mesh strainer

Dice the onion and bell pepper, mince the garlic, rinse the rice under cool water until mostly clear, and drain and rinse the black beans.

Keep fingers tucked and the knife blade angled away while dicing and mincing.

1 Count yellow onion
1 Count green bell pepper
4 Count garlic
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 Count black beans
2
Soften the aromatics
Wooden spoon
Large saucepan with lid

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, then cook until softened and lightly glossy, about 5 minutes.

Keep the saucepan handle turned inward to help prevent spills.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Count yellow onion
1 Count green bell pepper
3
Bloom the seasonings
Wooden spoon
Large saucepan with lid

Stir in garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves. Cook until fragrant and stir constantly, about 30 seconds.

4 Count garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 Count bay leaves
4
Toast the rice
Wooden spoon
Large saucepan with lid

Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat the grains in the seasoned oil. Cook for 1 minute, until the rice is lightly toasted at the edges.

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
5
Add liquids and beans
Wooden spoon
Large saucepan with lid

Stir in black beans, vegetable broth, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.

2 Count black beans
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup Water
1 teaspoon salt
6
Simmer covered
Large saucepan with lid

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 18 minutes. Do not lift the lid while the rice absorbs the liquid.

7
Rest, remove bay leaves, and serve
Fork
Large saucepan with lid

Turn off the heat and let the pot stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove bay leaves, then fluff the rice and beans with a fork before serving.

Use caution when lifting the lid because hot steam can burn.

Discard the bay leaves before serving.
