Here is how you make Black Beans and Rice:

The day before you plan to eat them:1. Put beans in a large bowl or pan. Cover with water and soak for at least 4 hours. I usually soak overnight.2. In the morning, saute the onion and garlic in canola oil until see-through or lightly golden.3. Mix beans, stewed tomatoes, chili powder and onion/garlic in a slow cooker. Add water until about 2 inches above the beans. 4. Cook on high all day, and it will be ready when you come home from work.5. 45 minutes before you eat: wash the rice by measuring it and covering it with water. Wait about five minutes and pour through a colander or strainer. Rinse with running water for about a minute. Place in a large cooker with a top. Add rice to cooker and put in an equal amount of water. 4 cups of rice and 4 cups of water. Cook on high until it begins to boil. Turn to the lowest temperature and simmer for 20 minutes. Voila! 6. You can serve by mixing the rice and beans together or by serving the rice in the bowl and topping with beans. We have also spread this mixture in tortillas, covered with salad makings, sour cream and cheese and made meatless burritos.Serving Size: 6 hearty servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DEEKAY42.
