Taking help from your local grocery store is not something you should feel guilty about. There’s nothing better than using a few simple ingredients to help make rice, POP! I found that “Minute Rice” has come out with a brown and wild rice variety, in cups. Basically the rice is ready to serve in sealed cups. What I’ve done, is to jazz it up a bit. I’m using a store bought Cantina style salsa. I absolutely love this variety of salsa and I always have a container in my frig. This is a side dish that pairs well with chicken, pork, or fish.

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon of olive oil 2-4.4 ounce cups of ready to serve Brown and Wild rice 1 can of reduced sodium rinsed and drained black beans 1 can of shoe peg corn ( large can 11 ounce) 1 plum tomato seeded in finely diced 1/2 a green bell pepper finely diced 1/2 a diced white Spanish onion 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon of fresh cracked black pepper 2 tablespoons of Cantina style fresh salsa (available in most produce departments) 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro leaves

Directions: First, I saute the diced tomatoes, onions, and green peppers in the olive oil over medium heat. Sprinkle in the Kosher salt and pepper, stirring that though. Once they’ve started softening, about 2-3 minutes, add in the ready to serve Minute Brown and Wild rice. Then add the, drained and rinsed, shoe peg corn and black beans. Stir all this though to combine. Let the black beans and corn to come up to temperature. Finally, add the salsa and stir to combine. Turn the heat off and sprinkle in the chopped cilantro.
