Servings: persons

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
4 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 teaspoon Whole Cumin Seeds
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
4 ounces, weight Diced Mild Green Chiles
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 cup Chicken Or Vegetable Broth
14-1/2 ounces, weight Can Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained
14-1/2 ounces, weight Can Pinto Beans, Rinsed And Drained
3 cups Cooked Rice (white Or Brown)
1/4 cups Cilantro, Chopped

1
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and cumin seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes.
2
Add the ground cumin, diced green chilies, salt, and black pepper, to taste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3
Add the chicken broth, black beans, and pinto beans. Stir gently to combine and bring to a simmer.
4
Add the cooked rice, again stirring gently to combine. (You don't want to stir too hard or you will break up the beans.)
5
Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until most of the broth is absorbed. Taste, and add additional salt or pepper if necessary.
6
Stir in the cilantro and serve.
7
Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 to 8 as a side dish.
