This is a tasty treat I taught myself to make when I was snowed in and couldn't get to the grocery store. Tasty and easy to make. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans |
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce |
4 1/2 cups water, divided |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1 pinch dried thyme |
salt and pepper to taste |
5 teaspoons adobo seasoning, divided |
2 cups uncooked white rice |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan combine olive oil, kidney beans, tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons adobo. Simmer on low heat.
2. Meanwhile, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and all liquid is absorbed. Stir in remaining 3 teaspoons adobo. Serve beans over the rice.
