Seeds, beans, and finely chopped veggies add color and crunch to a side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 small orange bell pepper, finely chopped (1 cup)
- 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2/3 cup chopped green onions (1 bunch)
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, optional
- 1/2 avocado, diced, optional
- Combine rice, cumin, and 2 cups water in saucepan. Add garlic and salt, cover, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and most of water is absorbed. Remove from heat, sprinkle bell pepper on top, cover, and cool rice in pan.
