Protein- and fiber-packed, this fish and bean dish works year-round.

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup olive oil

1 Markon First Crop Yellow Onion, peeled and chopped

4 cloves Ready-Set-Serve Peeled Garlic, minced

1/2 cup Ready-Set-Serve Washed & Trimmed Cilantro, chopped

1 tsp. ground cumin, toasted

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

3 cups dried black beans, rinsed and soaked

4 cups fish stock

4 pieces of fish, approximately 2 pounds total (halibut, sea bass, or cod work well)

4 cups long-grain rice, steamed

1/4 cup low fat sour cream

1 cup Markon First Crop Roma Tomatoes, chopped

Instructions: 

Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large stock pot; add onion and cook over medium-high heat until soft and translucent. Add garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook for two more minutes. Add black beans and stock and simmer until beans are tender and stock has reduced.


Coat fish with remaining two tablespoons of oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook on a grill or skillet until browned on each side (approximately two to three minutes per side).


To serve, fill serving bowl with one cup of rice. Top with equal portion of black beans, fish, sour cream, and tomatoes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
