Preparation:
Soak the beans in the water overnight. If you're short on time, bring the beans and water to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Cover and set aside to soak for 1 hour.
After the beans have plumped up, drain off the water, add 3 cups fresh water and the bay leaf and bring to a boil for 10 minutes.
Add the brown rice, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and soy sauce to the boiling beans. Cover, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook gently for 40 minute |
