Newman's Own Salsa (mild or medium).
Canned black beans w/ liquid, bring to a boil (I find that the WestBrae Organic black beans are more tender and easier to mash than regular grocery store brands. However, I haven't been mashing or pureeing them lately. A year ago, I started with a couple spoonfuls of black beans several times a week, now I can have 1/2 cup or so. I make sure to chew them thoroughly!)
I used Texmati long grain white rice, but I've also used brown rice. I sautee 2 T of chopped onion, 1 clove garlic in my rice cooker and add 1/4 tsp cumin. Then I add the rice and sautee that for about one minute, mixing the onions, garlic and cumin w/ the rice, before adding water. Once I add the water, I add three - five T of salsa on top, without mixing it in. The rice cooker does the rest. It's pretty easy!

Do you find that a rice cooker works for just single servings? You put all those ingredients in the rice cooker...the salsa too? Is the salsa extra chunky? All I can find is the chunky with green peppers in it. Don't they have just plain salsa without peppers and stuff?
This sounds delicious! But I'm not eating beans at all right now...so don't know how filling this would be yet. I would probably have to use white rice since I don't take a big SFS dose beforehand, don't ya think?

You put all those ingredients in the rice cooker...the salsa too? Yes! Except I cook the canned beans separately, on the stove. Is the salsa extra chunky? All I can find is the chunky with green peppers in it. Don't they have just plain salsa without peppers and stuff? The pineapple salsa doesn't have green peppers, but it does have jalapeņo peppers. My recommendation would be to substitute a bit of tomato paste, canned tomatoes, or even fresh, chopped tomatoes if you can't eat peppers. You could also just have plain white rice with the beans - this is a tasty combo too!
