"Louisiana" Brown Rice and Black Beans
Make the rice according to the package usually two cups of water for 1 cup of rice, when rice is just "al dente" add in about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of washed black beans, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 veined/chopped habanero pepper and 1 tbsp of Louisiana hot sauce and stir. Once rice is done fold in snipped parsely and add a little salt and pepper to taste after plating.
You can also add grilled or sauteed andouille sausage for a good entree or serve as a side with CFS (Country Fried Steak) or get even crazier and add additonal stuff like pineapple or granny smith apples for a little flair.
