Sometimes I make clothing, sometimes I make words, sometimes I make furniture. Today I made food. Well, I normally make food, but this is food worth sharing.
The Husband and I are mostly vegetarian. That means we eat meat at other people's houses, and sometimes at restaurants, and we'll serve meat to people we don't think would appreciate vegetarian dishes. But in the home it's vegetarian all the way. And here is a dish not just vegetarian, but vegan, and delicious.
Anne's spanish rice
1 cup brown rice
1.5 cups salsa
.5 cups water
Combine all ingredients in sauce pan. Turn to high and boil for ten minutes, turn down to low, cover and let simmer for 25 minutes.
Re-fried black beans
1 cup black beans
1.5 cups water
1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
Sort and wash beans. Put in crock pot with water on high for five hours or on medium for 8. Drain water off of beans, but reserve. Mash beans with potatoe masher, adding in chili powder and the water back in as is helpful. Saute onion and (whole) clove of garlic till onions get brown. Mash garlic in pan with a fork. Add the mashed beans and fry till all warm and happy. Add water while cooking to keep the beans from drying out.
Serve with sour cream or shredded cheese.
