Casamiento (Black Beans and Rice) [Vegan]
Being Honduran, I grew up eating “casamiento”, black beans and rice. Casamiento means marriage in Spanish. The story behind this popular dish is that black beans symbolize men and white rice, women and when they get “married” they both turn the same color; they become one.

How to Prepare Casamiento (Black Beans and Rice) [Vegan]
- In a blender or food processor, combine onions, tomatoes, garlic, coconut oil, salt, cumin, and pepper. Blend until well combined but still slightly chunky.
- In a large saucepan, cook the mixture over medium heat, until fragrant for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the black beans, and return mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cover for 5 more minutes.
- Add the brown rice and combine all together, ensuring that the rice and the black beans “marry”.
- Once everything is combined, let everything cook together in low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
