Mexican flavored rice or one pot meal for your week night dinner, meatless Mondays.

This week's theme is - clean out the pantry night. It could not come at a better time for me as I am in the process of emptying my pantry and using up all the left over stuff. We are planning to move to a new place and I would become regular once I am settled there.Until then please allow this woman and her man to bicker and gnaw each other's heads :)).

Ingredients:
Long grain rice or any white rice (uncooked) - 1 cup (wash well and drained completely)
Olive oil - 1 tbsp
White onion -1/2 chopped
Garlic flakes - 4 chopped
Garlic powder - 1 tsp
Roma tomato -1 diced
Cumin powder - 1tsp
Chipotle pepper- 1 (canned) chopped
Salsa - 1/2 cup or 1/4 tomato sauce
Water / chicken /veg broth -2 cups
Salt to taste
Dark red kidney beans - 1/2 to 1 full Β 15 oz can if u like,drained
Coriander leaves - few,chopped

Method:
1. Heat olive oil in a medium sized pan add onion,garlic Β saute till it becomes transparent then add Β rice and continue till the rice becomes crisp, nutty and slightly brown add all the rest of the ingredients except beans and coriander leaves.Bring it to boil then reduce flame,cook it covered for 20-25 minutes. Until completely cooked and dry not mushy.Do not lift lid in between.
2. Add the red beans mix gently until distributed evenly sprinkle coriander leaves.
Fluff the rice with fork. Serve warm with any meat side dish or just guacamole.

    Hoping you must have shifted and settled well.
    The one pot meals are my favourite since they require least effort and the end result is lip smacking! Delicious casserole this one.
