ingredients
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 1 yellow bell peppers or 1 orange bell pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash pepper
directions
- Rinse rice in a fine-mesh sieve until water runs clear. Place rice in a small saucepan, along with water and ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 17 minutes.
- Meanwhile, halve bell pepper, remove stem and seeds, and cut into ½-inch pieces. Finely chop cilantro leaves and stems.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium flame until shimmering. Add paprika. Cook, stirring frequently, for 30 seconds. Add chopped bell pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, and a dash of pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are soft, 4–5 minutes.
- Rinse then add beans plus ¼ cup water to the saucepan. Partially cover and cook over medium-high until beans are tender and liquid has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of cilantro mixture to rice, and separately to beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve rice topped with bean stew.
