Spicy Mexican beans and rice with Poblanos, basmati rice, and seasoned pinto beans.
Ingredients:
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 small poblano pepper, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
Instructions:
  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sauté onion, poblano pepper, and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add rice and cook until coated in oil, about 2 minutes. Season with paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add tomato paste to the pot and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and pinto beans. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover the pot and simmer until the rice is tender, for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Take the pot off the heat, cover it, and allow it to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes. Then, gently fluff the grains with a fork.
