Slow Spanish Rice and Beans


Another great dish from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson. Prep was minimal, just softened up the onion, garlic and bell pepper prior to adding to the slow cooker and then cooking the rice closer to when the bean mixture was ready. It had a great taste. The recipe said it serves 4 but we probably got closer to 6-7 servings from it. It kept really good and as with some dishes, I liked the leftovers better than the fresh meal. It was firmer. Not to say it was runny out of the cooker, just a little different after being refrigerated. We'll definitely make this again. I really like using our slow cooker and so far we've had great success with it.
