Black Beans And Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. olive oil or olive oil spray and water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 or 3 cloves of garlic, pressed
1 small green pepper, chopped or use a mix of red, yellow, etc.
2 medium ripe tomatoes or 4 canned Italian plum, drained and chopped
salt and pepper
2 c. cooked black beans or 1 (15 oz.) can, drained and rinsed
1 c. white rice

Preparation

Cook onion, garlic and peppers in hot oil for about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook 3 or 4 minutes.
(I often use a can of pasta-style chunky tomatoes, undrained.) Season with salt and pepper.
