"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 cup Jasmine rice , uncooked, or use any rice that says on the package that it takes 15 minutes to cook it
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 garlic cloves , minced
2 tablespoons lime juice , freshly squeezed (use one 1 tablespoon first, before adding another)
15 oz black beans , rinsed, drained, from the can
1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
Directions:
Directions:
Use large, deep skillet or a large sauce pan.
Add chicken broth, uncooked rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and minced garlic to the skillet (or pan). Bring to boil. Mix everything well. Reduce the heat to low boil simmer. Cover the skillet with the lid. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, covered, until the rice is cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat. Mix in 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice, black beans (rinsed and drained), and fresh cilantro into the cooked rice. Taste, and add more salt and/or another small amount of lime juice (at most 1 extra tablespoon, try adding half of extra tablespoon first).
Note: I think 2 tablespoons of lime juice (freshly squeezed only!) are just perfect, but the lime flavor might be too strong for some people, so you might use just 1 or 1.5 tablespoon instead of 2 that I used.

Cook time is 2 minutes. I have been really trying to find delicious vegan recipes because who knows how many of use will become vegan?
