Gallo Pinto - Lisa Rice Lifestyle

Ingredients

• 3 cups (or 2 cans) cooked black beans – save the bean liquid! Just drain into a bowl and set aside.
• 3 cups cooked rice (I like a long grain brown rice, but almost any will work)
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 5 cloves minced garlic (feel free to use the minced from a jar, about 1/2 tsp equals a clove)
• 2 T plus more for serving Salsa Lizano (can find in a Latin market or world food store like Aldi or World Market or You can buy it here.)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• Chopped cilantro (or parsley) for garnish
• *if you can’t get your hands on a bottle of Salsa Lizano, you can add Vegan Worcestershire sauce and more cumin.
• optional: seeded and finely chopped jalapeño pepper
