Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion diced
1 red pepper diced
2 stalks celery diced
2 cloves garlic minced
3/4 cup brown rice rinsed
1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
2 cups of broth/water divided
garnishes - shredded cheese chopped green onions, sour cream

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add the onion, peppers, and celery along with some salt and pepper. Stir and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and keep stirring for another minute
Add the spices, beans, rice and 1 cup of the broth/water. Stir really well and simmer, covered for about 25 minutes. Stir every five minutes or so and add more water or broth when needed. I used about 2 cups. Check the rice by taste testing to make sure it's cooked through and not crunchy
Serve warm topped with shredded cheese, chopped green onions and sour cream.
