Simple Green Beans and Cilantro Rice
















This combination is a real favorite of ours. I just recently started making the rice this way, after my grandma taught me to add the cilantro. The result is fantastic! The beans are very simple. I just cook some chopped tomato and white or yellow onion first, and then add the beans, stir them a little bit and then add a little water, cover them, and let the steam cook them until they are tender. This should take about 12 minutes or so. The rice is cooked the regular way you cook rice, then when it starts to boil, add the chopped fresh cilantro and stir a bit, and continue to cook your rice the way you always do. Don't forget to add a little (just a little though!) salt.
