This is a simple, nutritious recipe made from leftover rice. Make it for a quick weeknight dinner or make a bigger portion for a crowd. Since the beans and rice are already cooked the dish is done in a jiffy. I used basmati rice here but any long grained rice will do. For a healthier option, use brown rice or other grains like farro, quinoa, barley, millet, buckwheat or amaranth @sarchakra
