ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 red onion, minced
2 ears corn, kernels cut from cobs
1 cup brown rice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 ¹⁄₄ cups vegetable broth
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
salt and black pepper, to taste
20 ounces mixed baby heirloom tomatoes, quartered
5 green onions, thinly sliced
¹⁄₄ cup minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

directions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the corn and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the rice, garlic, cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, or until just fragrant, stirring constantly. Add the broth to the pot. Bring to a low simmer and cook over low heat, covered, for 25 minutes. Stir every 5-10 minutes.
Add the black beans to the pan. Cover and simmer until the liquid is fully absorbed, about 20-25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Meanwhile, toss the heirloom tomatoes, scallions, cilantro and lime juice together in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Serve the rice and beans topped with the heirloom tomato salsa.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
