 "recipeIngredient": [
  "1 cup (185 g) long-grain brown rice",
  "3 cups water, divided",
  "1 tbsp olive oil",
  "1 medium onion (about 5 oz), chopped",
  "1 red bell pepper (about 5 oz), seeded and diced",
  "3 cloves garlic, minced",
  "1½ tsp ground cumin",
  "2 cans (15 oz each) no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed",
  "½ tsp salt, divided",
  "¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro",
  "2 tbsp lime juice"

   "text": "Rinse the rice. Bring 2½ cups of the water to a boil in a medium pot with a tight lid. Stir in the rice, cover, turn the heat to low and simmer 50 to 55 minutes, until the water is gone and the grains are tender. Up here water boils at about 203 °F, so brown rice takes longer than the bag says. Take it off the heat and leave it covered 10 minutes."
