Ingredients:

1 1 teaspoon olive oil

2 1 small onion, chopped

3 ¾ cup uncooked white rice

4 2 cloves garlic, minced

5 1 teaspoon salt (optional)

6 1 teaspoon ground cumin

7 1 ½ cups low sodium, low fat vegetable broth

8 2 cans black beans, drained & rinsed

Instructions:

1 Gather all ingredients.

2 Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion has softened, about 3 minutes.

3 Add rice, garlic, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly toast the rice and warm the spices until fragrant.

5 Stir in black beans and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
