  • Stir mixture constantly.
  • Cook for about 20 minutes.
  • Prepare rice, boiling gently until water is absorbed, with 2 tbsp (30 ml) butter and 1/2 tsp (2 ml) garlic salt.
Comments
The beans should reach the consistency of refried beans. They should have a smooth, creamy texture with some whole beans. Serve the beans and rice by pouring 1/2 cup of beans into a bowl and scoop the same amount of rice on top of the beans.
