A staple. Microwaves well and is perfect for lunch. Serves 4.
2 tbs olive oil
1 white or yellow onion, diced
1 3/4 cups chicken or vegetable stock (or water, in a pinch)
1 cup uncooked rice
1 15-ounce can black beans - do not drain
Half of a lime
In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onion until translucent. Add the stock/water and bring to a boil.
Add the rice and beans, stir to combine. Cover the pot.
Turn the heat to as low as it goes, and then simmer undisturbed until all of the liquid is absorbed - 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat, add the lime juice, and mix with a fork before serving.
