Spanish Rice and Beans

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet with a fitted lid over medium. Add onion; cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, paprika, salt, chili powder, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne; cook 2 minutes, stirring often, until aromatic. Stir in rice; cook 2 minutes, until slightly translucent. Stir in tomatoes, beans, and broth (or water). Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 25 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare parsley oil (if using) by combining parsley, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil in a small bowl; stir well.

Step 3

Scatter olives over Spanish Beans and Rice and drizzle with parsley oil.
