Cooking time: 20 minutes
Makes: 2 bowls
What you need:
- ½ cup (125 mL) long grain rice (whole grain or white rice)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped cilantro
Spiced peanuts
- 1 tsp (5 mL) peanut oil
- ¼ cup (60 mL) peanuts
- ½ tsp (2 mL) Tex Mex seasoning
Red wine peanut dressing
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) peanut butter
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) each red wine vinegar and water
- 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 mL) hot chipotle pepper sauce, or to taste
Salad
- 1 cup (250 mL) canned black beans, well rinsed and drained
- 1 tomato, cut into thin wedges
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) each chopped red onion and chopped cilantro
- Generous squeeze lime juice
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
- 1 cup (250 mL) shredded romaine lettuce
- ½ cup (125 mL) corn, fresh (or thawed, if frozen)
- ⅓ cup (75 mL) grated cheddar cheese
- ¼ avocado, peeled and cut into thin strips (optional)
How to prepare:
Cook rice according to package directions. Stir cilantro into cooked rice. Meanwhile, heat oil in a small frying pan over low heat. Add peanuts and seasonings. If peanuts are unsalted, add a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring continuously until peanuts are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare red wine peanut dressing by whisking all ingredients together. If dressing is thicker than desired, thin with water.
In a bowl, combine beans, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Divide rice in 2 large, deep individual bowls and drizzle with half the dressing. Place bean mixture on top, taking up about ½ of each bowl. Beside bean mixture, place lettuce, corn and cheese. Fan avocado strips on top. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with spiced peanuts.
