Add the cup of rice to 2 & 1/2 cups boiling water - simmer covered for about 50 mins. Rinse black beans in a collander and let dry. Rinse, clean and prepare your vegetables and add to a large bowl. Add the drained and rinsed beans to the bowl and mix well. When the rice is finished add to the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Drizzle the olive oil slowly over the rice and add your tamari or terriyaki sauce and mix well. Add any fresh herbs you like, ie., diced, cleaned, dried basil, parsley, oregano, cilantro. Fresh ground pepper, cumin, chile powder, etc. Enjoy, its one of my favorites.
