I think this came from fatfree.com, but I don't know for sure...it's really yummy, though:

Put 2 cups of rice into a pot with the following:

3/4 tsp. ground turmeric
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
4 cups water (or whatever ratio of water your bag of rice recommends)
1 1/4 tsps. salt (optional)

Get this to cooking and then work on the following, placing them into a large skillet:

chop a large onion
chop a green bell pepper (I often find myself short on bell peppers -- I've used 3 celery stalks, a small zucchini, 1/2 cup hominy, etc., whatever else I've got lying around!)
2 or 3 diced carrots
2 or 3 diced or grated cloves of garlic
2 tsps. ground cumin
1 can of chopped tomatoes
1 can black beans
1/2 cup water
as much Jalapeno or other hot pepper as you like
Salt (optional0

Simmer it all with a lid until the carrots are done to your liking. Spoon over rice.

A dolop of plain soy yogurt is good on top. Or, sometimes we put hot mustards over top...or just eat it plain...it's pretty good stuff whichever way!

Also...tastes good with brown, white, or wild rice.

I had a great one as well, one I just made up.

4 c green leafy lettuce
½ c fresh mushrooms
1 rib chopped celery
1 c broccoli
¾ c wild rice
¼ c fire roasted spaghetti sauce

thanks for posting yours

Hey PKM...how do you prepare this?

Do you cook all the veggies and rice and then lay them on the lettuce leaves????

Further instruction, please ! Thanks!

Groundhogg,

I put the WR on to cook first (made xtra for BF – I eat it like oatmeal w/nutmeg and ginger and soy)

I did use fresh mushrooms and sauté them and add the rest of the veggies for 4-5 minutes.

I washed and cut up the lettuce (I buy the greenest I can find, sorry I don’t know what kind it was…. I’ll have to pay attention.

I put the lettuce and the wild rice in the fridge (separately) for about a half hour – I was not ready to eat yet.

I left the veggies in the pan on the stove with the lid off

Took everything threw it on a plate and mixed it as I ate.

The sauce was out of a jar, I looked at the ingredience and they seemed MCD friendly, you could easily use tomatoes and a few hot peppers to give it the zing.....

Well you should definitely name that dish !

Sounds good...sounds like something that can be tweaked at will, here and there, with whatever ingredients are on hand! I like those kinds of recipes!
