Serving suggestion: Black Beans recipe follows
1 1/4 cups black beans (about 1/2 pounds)

1 tablespoon kosher salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid, over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, and annatto, and cook, stirring, until somewhat soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes more. Add water, salt, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Wrap the lid tightly with a kitchen towel. Cover the rice, lower the heat to a simmer, cook for 20 minutes.
Remove the rice from the heat and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve with the black beans.
Put the beans in a large saucepan, add the water and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Set aside, covered, for 1 hour.
Return the beans to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer, cook uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, and coriander and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the onion mixture to the beans and continue simmering until the beans are very tender and the liquid has thickened, about 1 1/2 hours more.
If the beans seem too thick, adjust the consistency with a little bit of water. Stir in the vinegar, season with the salt, cayenne, and pepper to taste. Serve.

Baked Rice With White Beans, Leeks and Lemon image

Provided by Ali Slagle

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 leeks (about 2 pounds), trimmed, white and pale green parts sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 lemon
1/4 cup raw almonds
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups uncooked basmati rice
1 (15-ounce) can white beans (such as cannellini or great Northern), rinsed
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup thinly sliced or chopped basil, chives, mint or fennel fronds, plus more for serving

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the leeks until they're clean, then shake or pat dry. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 1-inch-thick strips of lemon zest, then cut the lemon in half. Cut one half into four wedges and reserve the other half.
In a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, combine the leeks, lemon zest strips, almonds, red-pepper flakes and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer. Roast until the leeks start to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
Finely chop the lemon zest strips, then stir it back into the leek mixture and arrange in an even layer. Sprinkle the rice evenly over the leeks, then top with the beans and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the boiling water, then seal the pan tightly with foil. Bake until the rice is tender, 20 to 22 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Squeeze the lemon half over the rice, then stir in Parmesan and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges, and more Parmesan and herbs, as desired.
