Rice and beans is a classic and nutritious dish enjoyed by many cultures around the world. It's a hearty, plant-based meal that is rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. This recipe combines brown rice, black beans, and peas with a touch of olive oil, vinegar, and soy sauce for added flavor. It's simple to make and can be a perfect main dish or side.
