Uncle Craig's Beans & Rice





My Uncle Craig is a vegetarian, and he has mastered the art of making super-flavorful meat- and dairy-free food. This is one of my favorite dishes of his. Thanks for sharing, Uncle Craig!


Ingredients
3 cans black beans (I like to use Bush's seasoned black beans)
1 can Rotel tomatoes with chiles
3-4 bunches scallions
28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes
28 oz. can hominy
1 head garlic
1 tbsp cumin
1 box Near East whole grain brown rice pilaf


Directions
1. In a large pot, add the can of tomatoes and break up the whole tomatoes with your hands.
2. Over medium heat, add the black beans, Rotel, hominy, garlic, cumin and scallions.
3. Simmer until heated through, stirring often.
4. Meanwhile, make the rice pilaf (a mixture of rice and orzo pasta) per the instructions on the box.
5. Serve beans over rice.
