McDougall Mayan Black Beans

Servings: 2

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

    * 1 15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

    * 1 cup fresh salsa: mild, medium, or hot

    * 1⁄2 cup green onions, chopped

    * 3⁄4 cup frozen corn kernels

    * 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Preparation:

1. 1.Place all the ingredients except the cilantro in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cilantro, if desired, let rest for 1 minute and serve.
   

2. 2.Hint: This also makes a wonderful topping for brown rice, or for a simple recipe variation, add about 3⁄4 cup of cooked brown rice to the bean mixture about 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time. This recipe adapts well to precooking: double the recipe, cook ahead of time, refrigerate half for use within the next 2 days, freezing the remainder for later use.
