Cilantro-Lime Black Bean Rice

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup uncooked Jasmine rice (or use any rice that says on the package that it takes 15 minutes to cook it)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed (use one 1 tablespoon first, before adding another)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed, drained
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Use large, deep skillet or a large sauce pan.
  2. Add chicken broth, uncooked rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and minced garlic to the skillet (or pan). Bring to boil. Mix everything well. Reduce the heat to low boil simmer. Cover the skillet with the lid. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, covered, until the rice is cooked through.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat. Mix in 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice, black beans (rinsed and drained), and fresh cilantro into the cooked rice. Taste, and add more salt and/or another small amount of lime juice (at most 1 extra tablespoon, try adding half of extra tablespoon first).
  4. Note: I think 2 tablespoons of lime juice (freshly squeezed only!) are just perfect, but the lime flavor might be too strong for some people, so you might use just 1 or 1.5 tablespoon instead of 2 that I used.
