  1. Bring the water and rice to boil in a medium pan or pot. Simmer for 35-40 minutes covered, or until the water is absorbed, and the rice is tender and cooked through.
  2. When the rice is close to finished, in a medium pan, cook the black beans along with their liquid and the garlic on medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes. 
  3. Combine the rice and beans together, and serve. Garnish as you wish!
