Advice
When making beans and rice, start by cooking the rice first. Use a 2:1 ratio of water to rice - two cups of water for one cup of rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender. While the rice is cooking, prepare the beans. Rinse and pick through the beans, then soak overnight in cold water. When ready to cook, drain and rinse the beans, cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 1-2 hours until the beans are tender. Once both the rice and beans are cooked, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
