- Add dry rice and stir to coat with oil then add 1 ½ cups water and cook until all water has absorbed. Cover lid and leave to steam 10-15 minutes (the more the better).

- Once onion is soft, add 1 tablespoon of honey and the zest of one lime, along with the juice of half of the lime. Stir and cook for a few minutes or until the liquid is slightly reduced.
- Drain the black beans and rinse them under water. Add the beans to the onion mixture and stir fry for a couple minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and add it to the beans, mix until well combined.
- Finally, add the juice of the remaining half of the lime and fresh chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
