Black beans and rice, pickled onions, cuban toast, grilled peppers.
How to:
Rice: Make rice. I use white, but really, any non-super sticky rice will do. Beans: Option 1: Buy a can of Goya Black Bean Soup. It's got the red label. Not the blue label black beans, the red label soup. I'm 99% certain this is vegetarian.
Option 2: Other black beans. Add fresh garlic, lime juice, scallions and some olive oil.
Condiments: Wedges of fresh cut limes. pickled onion (chopped onion, a little paprika, a little salt, some vinegar. Mix and let sit for an hour) or just chopped onion. Scallions also wonderful here.
Toast: Take good french bread, cut in half length wise. Spread with butter/oil/margerine. Toast.
Peppers: Grill if possible, sautee or otherwise cook if not, a bunch of sweet red/yellow peppers. -
And!Plantains! How did I forget these. Buy the package of frozen ones, or get fresh, and sautee in butter. Yum.
Technically this is a multi pot meal. However, the whole thing can be done in the time the rice cooks- put rice on, set beans to heat... Has the advantage of being cheap.
