Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium green pepper, diced
½ large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
1 ⅓ (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
4 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes and vinegar. Add cumin, salt, thyme, pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Cook for 3 minutes.
