Notes
- Oil – I used olive oil to saute the onions and garlic for the rice. Substitute it with water or vegetable broth for an oil-free recipe.
- Rice – You can use any kind of white or brown rice in this recipe. Cook according to package instructions.
- Black beans – You can use drained and well-rinsed canned black beans or homemade black beans.
