1/2 lb dry black beans 1 1/2 c. white rice 2 c. packed cilantro leaves 2 cloves garlic 1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil 1/4 tsp salt
1. Soak and cook the beans. Cook the rice. (You can do this the night before, refrigerate, and reheat in the microwave right before serving.)
2. Put the cilantro and garlic into a food processor (the directions say it needs to be a food processor and not a blender), process until chopped, add the oil, process again.
3. Mix all together. Add salt.
(This is a really good dish, though I bet your girls won't eat it.)
Bean Stew
1 lb any sort of dried beans 8 to 16 oz any sort of smoked meat 1 to 2 onions 2 to 10 carrots, depending on how much people present like carrots a stalk or two of celery 1 lb frozen corn Anything else you've got handy that needs using up thyme and savory OR chili powder and oregano
Soak the beans, then put them in a pot to simmer with the meat, onions, carrots, celery, corn, and anything else that isn't tomato-like. (If you have tomato paste or diced tomatoes, they're good in this, but can't be added until the beans are tender.) Add water to cover. Add spices to taste. Simmer for an hour or until beans are tender. This can be made in a crock pot.
