Healthy Latin in a Hurry

Even at the end of the workday, you can throw together a meal this tasty and nutritious.

To begin, pour a glass of wine.

Now put a cup of rice on to cook with some turmeric thrown in for that authentic shade of arroz amarillo.

While the rice cooks empty a can of black beans and add to it (in a skillet) some water, cumin powder and 1 chopped tomato. Simmer on very low.

Pour second glass of wine and chop finely: cilantro, green chiles, onions and a clove of garlic. Mix well with some olive oil, a dash of vinegar and salt and black pepper. Set aside for flavors to meld.

When rice is done turn off and let sit covered while you quickly pan fry a sliced VERY ripe plantain (platanos maduros).

Assemble all on plate and polish off bottle of wine.
