Ingredients

8 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion (finely chopped)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cup uncooked white rice (long grain or jasmine rice)
4 cups chicken broth (or stock)
2 x 14 ounce cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
3 -4 tablespoons lime juice ((adjust to your tastes))

Steps

Heat oil in a stockpot or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until onion is transparent. Add the garlic and sauté for a further minute. Add the cumin and rice, mix the flavours through and sauté for a further minute.
Pour in the broth and beans, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender (stirring half way through). 
Remove from heat and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil (about 2 teaspoons), lime juice and cilantro. Taste test; season with a little salt and pepper, only if needed and as desired.
