bean dinner



Sometimes I am tired of meat!

My favorite rice lately is Basmati rice from India. It has a nutty flavor and cooks quickly.
Rinse the rice, cover with 1/2 inch of water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. Can't beat that!

Saute some garlic, onions and carrots until soft. Add a can of drained black beans and warm through.

Serve over the rice with chopped parsley.

I steamed some asparagus while the rice cooked, then slightly chilled. I added a lemon vinaigrette with tomatoes from the garden and fresh herbs.

Perfect
