Greens! Glorious greens!
In the weeks leading up to my move I was trying to eat everything I had been storing in my cupboards, so I wasn’t buying too much fresh produce. When we finally moved into our new apartment on Sunday I was delighted to find a great supermarket across the street that sells some really good tomatoes and avocado. So I have been eating my favorite meal (avocado, cucumber, tomato and mustard on toast) a lot this week! Then, last night I decided to use some of my new cooking apparatus…es… apparatuses (???) to make a yummy rice mixture.
I started by boiling some brown rice, and in a separate pan I cooked some black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, onion, olive oil and sea salt on a medium heat.
I added some crushed tomato halfway through, then when the onion was soft and the rice was cooked I combined it all in a large bowl with baby spinach and some nutritional yeast. I covered the mixture with a lid to let the spinach soften and then served it with some spinach, tomato and avocado.
It was so freaking good!
Wow that looks great. I eat a lot of beans but not very much rice. This would be a great New Years recipe with the beans (blackeyed peas?) and greens! So good for you too
It was so good! I’m almost scared to try to recreate it: every time I do that, it’s never as good as it was the first time!
