Ingredients
- 2 C. cooked brown rice
- 1 400 g. tin of black beans
- 1 350 g. jarred corn
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne

- 1/2 red or green capsicum, diced
- 1 or 2 radishes, sliced
- 1 sprig of coriander, chopped, stems and all
- juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Heat the black beans in a small saucepan. Add the cumin, turmeric, cayenne and salt and pepper.
- Divide the brown rice between two small bowls.
- Top rice with black beans and corn. Arrange the avocado, tomatoes, capsicum, and radishes, to look as good as this grain bowl will taste! Be sure to divide ingredients evenly among the two bowls.

Tips
If you can take the heat, swap out the milder capsicum for a spicy chilli! Jalapeno or Habanero chillies would be delicious!
