Keep It Simple With Canned Beans
If you are really serious about your beans, you’ll start with dry black beans and then cook them for an hour or two first. But then, that wouldn’t be quick and easy. So we’ll save that approach for another recipe. (A compromise? Cook the beans in a pressure cooker.) This recipe is better for a “the chicken is on the grill, what am I going to serve it with?” side dish, and uses canned black beans.
Add More Flavor
By the way, my pal David recommends mixing some chopped canned green olives, the ones with pimentos in them, for giving an additional boost to basic black beans and rice. Best not to use short-grain rice, though, since those grains have more starch and will stick together.
