yarngeek: shiny pots and pans (cooking)

My go-to lunch is brown rice + beans + oil with Stuff on top.

I've seasoned canned black beans (rinsed until they don't foam anymore) and brown rice with just about everything in my pantry, but I think the classic treatment is a little bit of butter, some salt and pepper, and some sharp, sharp cheddar. Sauteed carrots and celery welcome.

Other things I've done to black beans (with rice and some olive oil):
Cilantro
paprika
chili powder
cumin
coriander
vinegar (cider or rice)
mustard
Avocado
sundried tomato
black olives (green for the white beans)
feta
red peppers
basil
oregano

White and garbanzo beans are really good with cilantro, mayo, pickles, and/or sesame seeds. I think they're more willing to play with celery or peas than carrots, which go really well with black beans.

I'm going to stop myself before I go on all night.
