Bean and rice bowl with quick salsa

Why it worksTinned beans mashed in a pan with a little water are refried beans. They cost much less than buying them ready-made.

Ingredients

• 300 g white rice
• 800 g kidney beans
• 150 g onions
• 12 g garlic
• 5 g ground cumin
• 250 g tomatoes
• 1 lemon
• 300 g sweetcorn
• 20 ml sunflower oil

Method

1. Start cooking the rice as the packet says. Chop the onion and garlic. Keep a spoonful of the raw onion for the salsa.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic with the cumin for 4 minutes. Add the drained kidney beans and 100 ml of water. Cook for 5 minutes, mashing the beans into a rough paste.
3. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces. Mix them with the raw onion, the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. This is your salsa.
4. Push the beans to one side of the pan. Warm the drained sweetcorn next to them for 2 minutes.
5. Fill the bowls with rice, mashed beans and sweetcorn. Put the salsa on top.
