BLACK BEANS AND RICE
This spicy recipe tastes so good, it's hard to believe it's healthy. It's convenient as a one-pot meal, but a cooling side dish such as fresh sliced mango or a cucumber salad would be good too. I use red pepper flakes because I don't like the acidity of fresh; instructions are included for fresh red pepper if you prefer. You can also replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian meal.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat.
- Saute onion and garlic until onion softens, about 4 minutes.
- Add rice and saute for 2 minutes (this crisps the outside of the rice).
- Add broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, cover and lower the heat. Cook for 40 minutes until rice is done, stirring occasionally.
- Add beans, spices, and fresh cilantro.
- To replace the red pepper flakes with fresh: Saute a chopped red pepper with the onion and add a 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper with the beans.
