This adaptation of traditional Spanish Rice and Beans leaves out one ingredient that the Spanish would "typically" use...hard boiled eggs. If you're a LOV vegetarian or any other non-vegan, then add two hard boiled eggs as a topping to the dish and you have the classic Spanish Rice and Beans dish. We think our vegan version is perfect!
Plate the finished dish with a ring of orange slices or the fruit of your choice, to add a little more color and flavor. Yum!
