MEXICAN KALE & BLACK BEAN RICE

Instructions

1. 1. 1. Heat the oil in a large non stick pan over medium heat
      2. Add the onions to the pan, sauté for 5 minutes until everything starts to soften
      3. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute, then add the tomatoes and chipotle paste and sauté for a few more minutes
      4. Add in the kale and continue to cook until it is wilted completely
      5. Tip in the raw rice and mix well, add a little more oil if necessary.  Mix continuously and allow the raw rice to develop the flavours for a couple of minutes
      6. Add 400ml of the water or vegetable stock, then the black beans and bring everything to a boil
      7. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 mins or until the rice is tender. Add the remaining stock/ water if you like the consistency of the rice softer, make sure to stir a few times towards the end of cooking but always cover again
      8. Remove from the heat, keep the lid on and let the rice steam itself for at least 10 minutes
      9. Season to taste, then stir in most of the coriander
      10. Garnish with lime wedges and the remaining coriander
