I love black beans. I love couscous. I love spicy. Three great tastes that go great together.
- 2 cans black beans (you can soak (and soak and soak) dry beans if you want, but I lose patience with this quickly)
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Spices to taste (I use cayenne pepper and a teensy pinch of garlic salt)
- 1 box whole wheat couscous
Prepare the couscous and set it aside (but don't forget that whole fluffing-it-with-a-fork thing. I learned this the hard way when one batch took on the shape of the pot it was cooked in and refused to relent).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Saute the onion, red pepper and garlic with the spices.
Add the black beans to the skillet and cook for five minutes or so, to allow all the spicy goodness to cook in.
Dump the (fluffed) couscous into a large bowl (or storage container, if you aren't eating it immediately) and stir in the black bean mixture.
Eat or store. Or both. Makes a TON (at least 6 servings).
YUM.
