Servings: persons

1 can black beans (and liquid)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon mild chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
black pepper
your favorite hot sauce
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1 tablespoon oil (optional) or 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

1
Start the water boiling in a fairly large pot; add the fat (if desired).
2
When it boils, add the rice.
3
Stir for the first minute, then cover and turn the heat as low as possible.
4
Rice should only cook for 20 minutes; you'll get perfect white rice every time by following a 2:1 rice-water ratio and following these directions.
5
Heat a saucepan slightly, then add oil and heat that briefly as well (this prevents sticking).
6
Saute the onion until aromatic, then add garlic; don't brown.
7
Turn the heat down to medium low.
8
Dump the whole can of beans in.
9
Add the vinegar, spices and chopped tomato, stir, and let simmer, covered.
10
When rice is done (20 minutes), remove from heat.
11
Serve beans over rice.
