2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 white onion, diced small (1/2 cup)
1/4 green bell pepper, diced small (1/2 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 can (15.5 ounces) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook until onion is soft, 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add cumin, oregano, and rice; stir, and cook 1 minute. Add beans and broth; stir, then season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover.
