This comes from my Aunt Lisa and Uncle David! This dish goes so well with so many things and it's a step above your regular sticky white rice as a side dish! It almost shines on its own as an independent dish! I LOVE IT!
What You'll Need
4 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 cups long grain white rice
3 1/2 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 can black beans
(one of my favorite things to pair this recipe with is the Greek Chicken - I'll put that recipe up as soon as I finish posting this one!)
Aaaand...GO!!
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and add garlic. Cook until crisp; remove garlic before it starts to brown. (Or you can just add some minced garlic that'd be equivalent to that, cause I don't always have fresh garlic on me) Turn heat to high and add rice. STir constantly. When rice begins to look "tweedy" (meaning when some of the grains go white and some become almost clear. DO NOT LET THE RICE BROWN!) Add water, salt and pepper; stir and reduce heat to medium high. Simmer for five minutes. DO NOT STIR!!!! Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover until ready to serve. Heat beans with juice in a small saucepan at medium heat until warmed through. Slap some of them beans on top of your rice and you have a masterpiece! Enjoy!
