Serves: 2

Cook and Prep Time: 35 minutes

You Need:

• 1 small can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 bunch Scallions, chopped, whites/light greens and dark greens separated
• ½ cup Brown Rice
• 8 oz. Shitake Mushrooms, chopped
• 2-3 sheets Nori, chopped
• 1 tbsp. Tamari
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Lime, juiced
• Salt, to taste
• Black Pepper, to taste
• Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse and chop the produce accordingly.  Bring the rice and 1 cup of water to a boil.  Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cover until water has fully evaporated, 20 minutes.
2. In a large frying pan, add 1 tbsp. olive oil and set to medium high heat.  Once hot, add scallion whites and light greens, and stir until softened and translucent, about 2 minutes.  Then, add black beans and cook until warmed through, an additional 1-2 minutes.  Then, add lime juice, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.  Once finished, place beans in a serving bowl and reserve the pan for the next step.
3. Add 1 tbsp. olive oil to pan used for the beans and set it to medium heat.  Once hot, add garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Then, raise heat to medium-high and add mushrooms, cooking until softened, 2-3 minutes.  Then, add nori and tamari, and toss to combine.  Cook for 1 additional minute, until tamari has reduced.  Then, remove from heat and set aside to serve.
4. On your serving plates, add beans, mushrooms, and rice.  Enjoy!
