Black Beans with Cilantro-Lime Rice (Vegan)

For the beans:
Black beans (canned, or soaked and cooked with a bit of salt until tender)
Vegetable broth (a little, just to make a bit of a sauce)
Onion, chopped fine
Celery, chopped fine
APB and celery salt, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and simmer until beans are very soft but still whole, and onion and celery are tender.

For the rice:
Brown rice (or other whole-grain rice of choice)
Juice from 1 lime
1 bunch cilantro, with leaves and small stems chopped fine (remove excess stem before dicing)

Cook rice as usual—we use a rice cooker to keep grains individual—then drizzle in the lime juice and incorporate the cilantro.

NOTE: The beans have been prepared according to what we can have on the Elimination Diet. (They are delicious prepared with a splash of vinegar and some chopped tomatoes, diced peppers, garlic, and black pepper, when you can have it!)

If you're not vegan, this is delicious as a side dish with grilled tuna.
