Black Beans and Rice



I did another Google of my kitchen leftovers:

vegetable broth
turkey deli meat
green onions
brown basmati rice
sweet onions
garlic
baby spinach


But the results were too vague.

I ended up narrowing it down to "vegetable broth" and "rice" and picked this Black Beans and Rice recipe. I totally turkey-fied it and green-fied it though.

My version:

Black Beans and Rice

1 tbsp-ish olive oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 cups brown basmati rice (the internet recipe uses long grain rice)
200g of turkey deli meat
3 cups vegetable broth
1 can black beans
0.5 of a bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
4 green onions, chopped
4 handfuls of spinach

Preparation (45 min):
1. Saute sweet onion and garlic for about 5 min.
2. Throw in rice and stir for about 3 min.
3. Throw in turkey meat and stir for 2 min.
4. Throw in vegetable broth. Bring mixture to a boil and then lower heat and let simmer, covered. After approximately 30 min, the rice will be wet and fluffy.
5. Throw in black beans, cilantro, green onions and spinach. Stir for about 5 more min.

Result: Cilantro beany oniony goodness!
