Preparation
1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2
Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened.
3
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin powder, and chili powder, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add the uncooked brown rice to the pot and stir well to coat the grains with the spices and vegetables.
5
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is nearly cooked.
6
Stir in the drained kidney beans and corn. Cover again and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed.
7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If using, stir in fresh chopped cilantro just before serving.
8
Fluff with a fork and serve hot.
