Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo beans
  • 2-½ cups brown rice cooked and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 green or red pepper chopped
  • ¼ habañero Scotch bonnet pepper or 1 to 2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped, depending on how hot you like it*
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 to mato chopped (or 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained)
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small handful fresh thyme leaves or ¼ teaspoon dried
  • 1 small bunch cilantro coarsely chopped
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper, habañero, and celery, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes. Stir in the diced tomato and season with the allspice and cumin.

Notes
