1

In una pentola capiente, scaldare l'olio extravergine d'oliva a fuoco medio e aggiungere il pollo a cubetti. Cuocere fino a doratura, circa 5-7 minuti.

Aggiungere la cipolla, l'aglio e il peperone, e soffriggere per altri 3-4 minuti, fino a quando le verdure sono tenere.

3

Incorporare i fagioli neri, il cumino e la paprika, mescolando bene.

4

Aggiungere il riso integrale e mescolare per farlo tostare leggermente.

5

Versare il brodo vegetale, portare a ebollizione, poi coprire e ridurre la fiamma.

6

Cuocere a fuoco lento per circa 20-25 minuti, fino a quando il riso è tenero e ha assorbito il liquido.

7

Togliere dal fuoco, aggiustare di sale e pepe e lasciare riposare coperto per 5 minuti prima di servire.
