- 2 3⁄4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 red onion, thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

directions
- Beans : Soak for 2 - 4 hours.
- To cook, drain the soaking water and add cold water, 1 part beans to 2 or 3 parts cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a very slow simmer, so the beans stay in their jackets. Simmer for 2 hours.
- Lightly toast pine nuts.
- In a heavy saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and the chopped onions; saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Mix in the bell pepper, chili powder, chili flakes, cumin, and cinnamon.
- Saute for 2 minutes.
- Pour the rice into the saucepan and stir to coat.
- Add the water and 1 teaspoon salt, and bring the rice to a boil over high heat.
- Cover the pan and turn the heat to low.
- Simmer the rice for 25 minutes.
- When the rice is cooked, mix in tomatoes, corn, black beans, and pine nuts.
- Stir in salt, pepper and lime juice.
- When the mixture is heated through, spoon it onto plates and top with the sliced red onion and cilantro.
- Serve a wedge or two of lime with each plate to squeeze over the rice.

We really enjoyed this recipe last night with our ground turkey tacos. Don't be intimidated by the long ingredient list--the prep is very fast and the recipe is easy to make. I subbed a red bell pepper for green, as that is what I had on hand. I used a can of black beans, and used frozen corn, which I blanched. I used a 15 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes. I kept all spice proportions as listed and used a little more cilantro, as we love it. The rice was very moist and flavorful. I enjoyed it again today for lunch. I'd definitely make this again. Thanks for posting.

Mmmm, this is divine stuff! I love how all of the flavours compliment each other so well - the complexity of the cumin and cinnamon, the heat of the chilis, and the burst of lime and cilantro - it's a party in my mouth! I used brown rice and a can of black beans, rather than dry. Oh, and I wasn't sure of the size of the canned tomatoes, so I used a 28oz can of diced, which will worked well for me. This is a most definate make again! Thanks, Karen Elizabeth! Made for Veg Swap 19, for our VIP!
