I cooked this for lunch this week, and I plan to make it again and again.
What you will need: Long grain brown rice, instant or not
1/2 cup white button mushrooms
1/4 of a sweet Vidalia onion, chopped
1/2 cup of canned black beans
1/2 tbs. EVOO
cumin and cayenne to taste
2 tbs. salsa
1 tbs. greek yogurt w/ a splash of hot sauce
cilantro, never optional for me, as I love it to pieces
What you will need to do: Cook the rice in rice cooker or stove. Heat a very small pan over medium heat and add EVOO. Add the chopped onion, and stir and stir. Add mushrooms. And stir and stir. You are sauteing slowly to make the onion translucent, and the mushrooms brown. When this happens, add black beans to the pan to heat them up. This takes only a minute or two. Add cumin and cayenne, stir, and turn off heat. When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork. Then plop 3/4 cup of it into a pretty bowl. Add the bean mixture. Put salsa and Greek yogurt on top. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with a few pieces of celery, and a large glass of water with lemon.
