Ingredients

Easy rice and bean leftovers - stir fry

  Rice – This recipe calls for pre-cooked rice, so leftover rice is great.
  Beans – I used a can of pinto beans that I had in the pantry. However, any kind of bean will work (black, kidney, chickpeas, lentils).
  Vegetables – I used red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. 
  Garlic and Jalapeno – Fresh garlic and jalapeño add extra flavor and heat.
  Spices – This recipe is seasoned with cumin, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

leftover couscous salad

Couscous likes things like dried fruit and almonds and “sweet spices,” turmeric, and ginger. It also loves mint, onion, garlic, allium flavors and broths and essences. It’s extremely versatile. This salad is a fantastic quick side dish or base of a main dish for a spring or summer lunch. As we move into onion and garlic and pepper seasons—you can add whatever you like to your leftover couscous salad.
