Shared by: christopher
Ingredients
Directions
Cut up bacon into small pieces (this is easiest when still slightly frozen) and add to the pot.
Once bacon gets a bit of color, add in chopped onions, carrots (diced), chopped fresh garlic and Herbs de Provence.
Cook until onions get a bit translucent.
Add in cooked black beans and rice.
Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes for flavors to meld.
Add 1-2 cups of water and using a hand-held blender (or transfer to food processor) blend until you reach desired consistency.
Add a splash of apple cider vinegar and (optional) hot sauce before serving.
Taste and add salt - (depending on how salty your bacon is, you may or may not need it).
Serve into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced bananas.
Enjoy!
