Low Fat red beans and rice

[Beth]

I personally would substitute brown rice for the white rice.


Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
4 1/2 cups water, divided
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 pinch dried thyme salt and pepper to taste
5 teaspoons adobo seasoning, divided
2 cups uncooked white rice

Instructions:
In a large saucepan combine olive oil, kidney beans, tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons adobo. Simmer on low heat.

Meanwhile, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and all liquid is absorbed. Stir in remaining 3 teaspoons adobo. Serve beans over the rice.

Great recipe. I love Adobo seasoning, I used to put it on everything. It is really good on chicken.
