Cooking
To prepare the salad, take the beans. I chose green mash from "Mistral", it is not necessary to soak, and it goes well with rice.
Pour beans with water in a ratio of 1 to 5, bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes on high heat, then low down the heat until minimum and cook for an hour until tender. It seemed to me that even hours long, the beans start to soft after boiling. The finished beans are thrown back on a colander.
Take Fig. Very easy to use the rice bags from the "Mistral". I chose the rice "amber". Fill the bag with water, bring to a boil and cook until al'dente state for about 15 minutes. The finished bag is removed from the water.
Vegetables wash, peel, cut into small cubes onion and garlic. In a saucepan (a frying pan) pour oil, heated, put onion and garlic. Fry (simmer) until transparent for a few minutes.
Carrots and zucchini cut into cubes. Put to the onion.
Next, you add the green beans and corn. I replaced them with frozen mixed vegetables "Mexican". All mix and simmer on a slow fire until soft. The vegetables don't fry, but at the same time they should not become a "wuss".
Add the prepared (from a bag) rice and beans. The amount of rice and beans at your discretion.
Add salt, mix of pepper, stir, turn off the fire. Allow to cool.
Sprinkle with vinegar, add diced tomatoes and herbs. Here, too, optional Basil or parsley. Stir.
The salad is served when ready. Bon appetit!
