INGREDIENTS
First, get the vegetables ready by chopping them up. Make sure to drain and rinse the pinto beans from the can.
Now, put a pot on the stove and set the heat to medium. Pour in some oil. When the pot is hot, add the vegetables and stir them around for about 4 minutes until they're a bit cooked.
Next, add balsamic vinegar, sweet smoked Spanish paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot. Mix everything together well. Then add the rinsed pinto beans, vegetable broth, and a bay leaf. Turn the heat up high.
Before you add the rice, make sure to rinse it. Once the broth starts boiling, add the rice and give it a good stir to mix everything together. Cover the pot with a lid and turn the heat down to low-medium. Let it cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is all cooked through.
Now, scoop it into a bowl and sprinkle some fresh parsley on top. Time to enjoy your meal!
