Instructions

- Add black beans and mixed ingredients. Add water until it reaches almost to the top of the beans. Bring it to a boil and simmer 25 minutes or so until liquids are absorbed.
- If you are making beans and rice, add diced tomato for the last 5 minutes and mix with rice.
- This is the beans and rice served.
- They are also fantastic with tacos!

Looks good! Can I omit the red wine?
Yes you may, it won’t make that much of a difference.
How much cooked rice and tomatoes?
I usually use 3/5 cup of rice (uncooked so depending on the type of rice it can almost double) and 1 &1/2 cup fresh tomatoes, or one 15 oz can of tomatoes.
Why the sugar? Do you really need it?
Date ‘sugar’ is not actually sugar. It is dried pulverized dates that aren’t processed.
I prefer a little sweetness to the beans as did my many customers in my restaurant for a lot of years. You could also puree whole dates, or use another fruit like cherries like I do in my chili recipe: https://www.arespectfullife.com/recipe/chef-jeffs-ultimate-rich-vegan-chili-recipe/
