1 cup brown rice and ½ cup barley
OR 1½ cups brown rice
3 cups liquid
I like to make rice and beans with tacos or tortillas, because it can go right in there with everything else (less meat), or you can have it instead of the tortilla.
Easy Black Beans and Rice (serves 4)
1 can Goya black beans
Drain and rinse a can of black beans really well. There should be NO foam left. Add the beans to the bottom of a large pot. Stir in rice or rice and barley. Add 3 cups water or water mixed with stock or tomato juice or liquid left from cooking tomatillos for Tomatillo Salsa. Bring to a heavy boil. Cover and turn down to lowest possible heat. Cook for 45 minutes. Turn off heat and leave on back of stove for up to 45 minutes.
