Health Benefits of Black Beans
Below is my recipe for the spicy bean & rice dish shown above.
Instead of a sandwich for lunch, eat beans and rice instead!
Spicy Black Beans
- 1/2 pound (8 0z) dried black beans
- 4 oz can diced Jalapeno peppers
- 14.5 oz can Chili Ready Tomatoes
- dribble of Cayenne Hot Sauce
- 1 Onion
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 2 Cans Beef Broth
- Lundberg Long Grain Brown Rice Gluten Free (get $5 off when you use Code CEL445 at iherb.com)
How to Make:
- Wash and sort dried beans. Place beans in bowl and cover with cold water plus a few extra inches (I use a large glass canister with cover on my counter). Soak beans for 8 hours.
- Rinse beans again, discard water.
- Put beans in crockpot and cover with fresh water plus a few extra inches of water.
- Cook on LOW in crock for 10-11 hours or until beans are almost cooked.
- Add Jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, and hot sauce and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 hours longer, or until beans are tender.
- Cook Lundberg rice. I replace the water with Beef Broth and this gives it a delicious taste. I like to make 8-10 servings of rice at a time to last throughout the week. Which is=2 cups of rice PLUS 4 cups of Beef Broth. Read directions on package. This rice takes atleast 50 minutes.
