Directions

1. Add olive oil to a large non-stick pan. Chop the whole onion and add to the pan for a few minutes.

2. Mince the garlic and add to the pan for about a minute. Add the cumin.Add the rice and mix around in the pan. Add the beans, being careful to not add the water with the beans as well.Stir the mixture around for a few minutes, and let sit for about 5 minutes.
