Spicy Vegetarian Black Beans (Fusion)

I came up with this when I became vegan. I serve it over basmati rice.

Step: 1

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet; add onions and cook and stir until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and add bell pepper, serrano pepper, garlic, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and cayenne pepper to onion, cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step: 2

Mix diced tomatoes, black beans, tomato sauce, green onion, lime juice, salt, and brown sugar into onion mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until flavors combine, about 30 minutes.

Step: 3

Remove from heat and top with cilantro.

One of most clear way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can made a dish do more often .
