We had this simple bean and rice dish for dinner tonight--and yes, it
really is spicy. I left off the red pepper but put the jar next to my
husband so that he could add some at the table. If you have the rice
already made then this is a fast dish to prepare after work. Whenever I
cook rice, I always cook extra and put it in ziplock bags, with 2 cups per
bag, so that I always know how much is in the bag, and then I toss them in
the freezer.
