Recipe: Lazy Beans & Rice

[triedunture]

OK, so I wasn't having the best day. Teejs having bad days are known to need comfort food. Or just any food. Fuck it, let's just make some fucking food.

First, get a rice cooker. Oh my god. If you don't have a rice cooker, why don't you just shoot yourself in the face? Because you honestly haven't been trying too hard at this "life" thing, have ya?

So pull out the sodding rice cooker. And pull out either the can of beans (any kind, I used Northern Whites) OR pull out half a bag of hard beans.

This was the first time I'd used bagged beans. I just tossed 'em in the rice cooker pot with some water and let them soak overnight. I was afraid they weren't soft enough this afternoon, so this is what I did.

Put 1 part rice (I used brown), 1 part beans, and 3 parts water in the rice cooker and turn it on.



Mmmmm, boiling.

Then fry up a small white onion and a few cloves of garlic in some oil with some salt and pepper. Make the edges of the onion a bit browned.



Mmmmm, deliciousness.

Then dump the onions and garlic into the rice cooker and maybe sprinkle in some chicken bouillon if you've got it, or maybe some cumin or whatnot.



Stir, put the lid back, and walk the fuck away!

When the water's been absorbed into the beans and rice, mix in some salsa and some cheese and give it another stir.



(PRETENTIOUS BOOKSHELF BACKGROUND. I READS TEH BOOKS.)

Holy shit. It's like love in a bowl. Seriously, what more could you want? You've got your grains, your protein, your vegetables (sort of, if you count salsa as a vegetable), and your dairy. QUIT BITCHING AND EAT EET.
