| My husband and I received a lot of cookbooks for our wedding because our friends and family know how much we both LOVE being in the kitchen! He even built a beautiful shelf to hold them all :)  One of my favorites is called Thug Kitchen - it's not exactly kid friendly haha, but it has great, healthy recipes and is really fun to read. It's also totally vegan! I rarely stick to a recipe exactly because I'm always substituting things I already have in my kitchen or items I just want to try. For better or worse- here's my version of the recipe. Recipe:Makes 6 Servings 2 TSP of Peanut Oil 1 Cup of Diced Onion 1.5 TBSP Minced Fresh Ginger 2 Cups of Uncooked Brown Rice 1 Cup 2% Milk (Original Recipe Suggested Coconut Milk) 3 cups of broth (veggie, chicken, whatever you have) |  |
A few shakes of Cayenne Pepper
2 Chopped Mangos
2 Cans of Black Beans
1 Lime, Zest & Juice
Chopped Cilantro
Heat up the peanut oil and starting cooking down the onions. Add the ginger, and a few seconds later add in the rice. Toast the rice for a couple of minutes, then add the milk, broth, and cayenne. Stir, cover, and let it simmer on low for about 40 minutes.
Check the rice. If it's done, great! If not, you may need to give it a little more water or a little more time. Once it's ready, rinse and drain the black beans and add them in. Also, add the lime zest, lime juice, and mango. Let that cook down for a couple minutes. Chop up cilantro to taste and eat up!
