Rice and Beans

amanda

Equipment

  • - Dutch Oven: Versatile kitchenware perfect for evenly cooking rice and beans due to its thick walls and tight-fitting lid, which helps retain heat effectively.

  • - Slow Cooker (Crock Pot): Ideal for the hands-off approach in making rice and bean dishes that allow flavors to meld together over several hours without constant attention.

  • - Potato Masher or Food Mill: These tools can be used post-cooking to achieve creamy textures from soft beans, although not all recipes may require this step.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped

  • 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 14-ounce box boil-in-bag rice, uncooked

  • 1 14-ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
