Ingredients
-
8 ounces low-fat kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 medium onions, finely chopped
-
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch dice
-
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
-
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
2 cups cooked brown rice, (see Tip)
-
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
-
1/2 cup water
-
Hot sauce, such as Tabasco, to taste
Directions
1.
Cook kielbasa in a large nonstick skillet over high heat, turning from time to time, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
2.
Add oil to the pan. Add onions, zucchini, bell pepper, jalapenos, garlic, cumin, oregano and salt; cook, stirring, until the onions are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice, beans and water; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved kielbasa and season with hot sauce. Serve hot.
Tip:
Tip: To cook brown rice: Place 2/3 cup brown rice, 1 2/3 cups water and a pinch of salt, if desired, in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer. Cover; cook over low heat until rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes. Makes about 2 cups.
