Method

  • Cook the rice according to directions.

  • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, sauté the onion, garlic, herbs and spices until onion is soft and translucent.

  • Add the capsicum and celery to the pan. Continue to cook until veggies are soft. Add the beans.

  • Once the beans are incorporated, stir through the chopped tomato and vegetable stock. Bring the mix to a boil, then simmer for about 10 - 12 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Spoon the rice into bowls, top with bean mixture, and avocado. A squeeze of lime or fresh coriander wouldn't go astray either!
