This goes good as a part of the platter or inside a burrito. I read this recipe from a magazine sometime back and i don't remember the name. Also, i vaguely remember exact ingredients used in the recipe and so, here comes my own version. The addition of black beans is my special Mexican touch. Also , i made some burritos with the left over rice, store bought tortillas, with more beans, veggies and sour cream. It tasted gr8! We all loved it!
Here comes the recipe...

Ingredients:
  • Long grain rice - 1 cup
  • Black beans - 1/2 cup cooked
  • Onion - 1
  • Green bell pepper - 1
  • Garlic - 2 or 3 cloves
  • Jalapeno peppers - 1 or 2
  • Cilantro - 1 small bunch, washed an chopped
  • Water - 1 1/2 cups or as per the quality of the rice
  • Crushed black pepper - as required
  • Oil - 4 tbsp
  • Salt - as required
How to make it:

Heat a griddle (no oil necessary) and cook the bell peppers, garlic and onion until charred on all sides. Let it cool. Blend the veggies with cilantro and jalapenos with little water into a paste. Heat oil in a heavy bottom non-stick pan, add the rice and fry for a while. Add the puree, enough water, salt, pepper and black beans. Close with the lid when the water starts to boil and simmer for 15 minutes until done. Garnish with more cilantro leaves.

I'm sending this to "It's a Vegan World - Mexican" hosted by Vaishali.
