This is a recipe I use in lieu of kidney beans and rice because I just happen to love the flavor of black beans. We never have leftovers of this side dish!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir water, black beans, cumin, and beef bouillon cube into the onion and garlic mixture; bring to a boil, add rice, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the moisture is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Gently stir Creole seasoning and cilantro into the beans and rice.
