How to Make Caribbean Black Beans With Mango Salsa Over Brown Rice
- Rinse 1 cup of brown rice and cook according to package directions. Set aside.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or water over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 1 cup of chopped carrots to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Add 2 cups of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup of vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- While the beans are simmering, prepare the mango salsa. Combine 1 ripe mango (diced), 1/2 red onion (finely chopped), 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced, optional), and 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a medium bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the black beans over the cooked brown rice. Top generously with the mango salsa and enjoy!
