Caribbean Rice and Beans

Found in the Dole Cookbook

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 med onion, chopped (1cup)
1 cup sliced red bell pepper
1 cup sliced yellow bell pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 tsp Cajun creole or Jamaican jerk seasoning
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups cooked wild or brown rice

Heat oil over medium-high heat in large skillet.
Cook onion, bell peppers, garlic, seasoning and oregano until tender, about 8 minutes.
Add beans, broth, lime juice and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 5-10 minutes. Serve with beans and rice.

*This is a spicy one.  We all enjoy some food with spice but we knew it was too spicy when both kids wouldn't eat it.  Paige was complaining that it made her lips hurt and Charlotte just kept making faces.  She was going to keep eating it up we chose to make them something else which almost never happens in our house.  I only did this since I was even having trouble with it too.  Ryan, on the other hand, loved all the spice and ate most of it.
