Well, it's Tuesday. And this is obviously not a Thai recipe. I apologize for that, but it was unavoidable this week. I did make 2 Thai meals this past week, but with sick kids I was unable to get the pictures touched up and downloaded. If I can get to it, I'll post a new Thai recipe on Thursday!I Love Mexican food. I mean Love with a capital "L". I could literally eat it every day. So, the other night when I was making chicken, I came across this recipe, had all of the ingredients, so I decided to whip it up. It was fast, and delicious! The best part is that it's a healthy side dish.
Black Beans and Rice
6-7 servings as a side dish
from: Bush's Best Black Beans can
1 TB olive Oil
3/4 cups onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped fine
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1 can (15oz) Low Sodium Bush's Black Beans- drain, but reserve juice
1/2 teas thyme
1 teas garlic salt
3 TB cider vinegar (I used red wine vinegar)
1/2 teas hot pepper sauce (I didn't have this- added some dried chili flakes)
2 cups cooked rice
Lime wedge or sliced mango (optional)
In a large skillet, heat olive oil; cook onion and green pepper until tender. Stir in tomatoes, beans, thyme, and garlic salt. Cook for 3 minutes; add vinegar, pepper sauce, and reserved juice. Continue to cook 5 minutes.
Serve over rice. Garnish with lime wedges or sliced mango.
