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!



Spanish Style Rice and Beans

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1/2 large red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cups quick-cook brown rice, cooked (Success boil-in-the-bag works great)
1 (15 oz.) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 medium mineola oranges, peeled and wedged (optional)

How we make it
