How to cook deliciously - Leticia’s Modern Rice & Beans

1. Stage

In a medium skillet, cover wild rice with water by at least 2". Cover pan and simmer over low heat until rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, wash basmati rice in cold water. Transfer to a colander and let air dry 5 minutes.

3. Stage

In a medium saucepan over low heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add basmati rice and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and making sure rice is covered in fat and shining bright. Add 3 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt and partially cover pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.

4. Stage

In another medium saucepan over medium heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until just starting to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in cumin; season with salt and pepper. Add beans and cook, tossing frequently, until combined and warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl.

5. Stage

Add wild and basmati rice, cilantro, dill, and parsley to bean mixture; season with salt and pepper, if needed, and toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.
