Description

A light and fun vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Onion, Diced
  • 1 cup Red Pepper, Diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Cumin
  • 4 cups Cooked Black Beans
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 15 ounces, weight Canned Pineapple Tidbits, In Juice, Drained, Juice Reserved
  • 1 cup Mango, Diced
  • 3 cups Cooked Brown Rice
  • GARNISH:
  • Chopped Cilantro
  • Sour Cream Or Yogurt

Preparation

Heat oil over medium heat in large saucepan. Add onions and red pepper. Saute until soft. Add garlic. Saute one minute more. Add cumin, beans, salt, vinegar, and pineapple juice. Bring to a gentle simmer, and continue to simmer over medium low heat to reduce sauce, about 10-15 minutes. Then, stir in pineapple and mango. Continue to simmer until fruit is warmed, 2-3 minutes.

Serve over cooked brown rice. Sprinkle with cilantro and spoon sour cream or yogurt on top. Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you like some heat.

We have recently decided to eat less meat (for both health and budget reasons), and this bowl of deliciousness is a new favorite! Thanks!

(Mango tip: This spring and early summer, I’ve noticed “Honey Mangoes” on sale at our grocery store for $1. I’ve found that they last a long time in the fridge and are more likely to be perfectly ripe than regular mangoes, whether you eat them that day or 2 weeks later.)

This recipe makes black beans and rice into something truly special. I love the sweet addition of pineapple and mango! I follow this recipe exactly, and just put the bottle of red pepper flakes on the table for people to add like salt, so everyone can choose his own spiciness level. :o) The last time I made it, I didn’t have a red bell pepper, so I threw some zucchini in instead, which tasted quite good (although wasn’t as colorful!). I highly recommend this dish!
