3 cups cooked brown rice
1½ tsp cumin seeds (or 1 tsp cumin powder)
1/8 tsp pepper
½ tsp salt
½ tsp chili powder

Steam saute the onion, garlic, celery, and sweet potato until potatoes are just soft. Add beans, water, and spices and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. When hot and ready to serve, squeeze juice of 1 lemon over the mixture. Serve hot over brown rice, or simply add the rice to the pot and stir through. |
