It's not traditional, but we love the heat that fresh ginger adds to salsa.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 of onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat. Add 2 cups water and season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is just tender, 40-50 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork. Fold in 1/4 cup cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
While rice is cooking, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2/3 of remaining onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add coriander and cumin; stir 1 minute. Add beans and broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, occasionally mashing beans, until thickened, 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Pulse chiles, garlic, ginger, lime zest, lime juice, and remaining onion in a blender until a chunky sauce forms. Season salsa with salt.
Step 6
Serve rice with beans; top with salsa, avocado, cheese, 1/4 cup cilantro, and lime wedges.

I loved this! I only made some minor changes. I added cilantro to the salsa, lime juice to the rice and chopped red pepper and garlic to the bean mixture. I thought the ginger in the salsa was genius. I omitted the cheese completely because I didn't think it needed it and then I folded it in a chia seed tortilla from Trader Joe's and it was perfect!

Made this for my husband and though we didn't eat all of it ourselves, we made a pretty good dent in it. Yum! Definitely going into my regular rotation. We also thought it would be a good vegetarian filling for tacos. I added some of the cilantro to the salsa, which I would do again.

Fixed for the first time and followed the recipe exactly, using feta cheese. It was awesome! I'm used to things that sound spicy not being nearly as good as they sound, but this had wonderful flavors and everyone loved it. Served it with salmon with lime butter and it was a terrific dinner.

We love this! I make a couple additions: I add two tomatoes to the salsa and do not puree it. I think it is best chopped up like you would a pico de gallo. I also add about 1/4 cup cilantro to both the salsa and to the rice. I usually serve a mexican inspired fish with this dish as my husband insists on protein. I also cook my rice in broth and then add in sautéed onion, garlic and capsicum. You cannot go wrong with this recipe and it can be altered to suit!

Basically beans and rice, I didn't feel the ginger salsa added all that much flavor

This is delicious and full of unexpected and excellent flavor combinations. Plan on twice the time allotted. I'm a seasoned cook and have made this twice, and 50 minutes is hopeful. Well worth it, though.

This was delicious. The contrast of the ginger salsa and the feta cheese was amazing. The variety of spices and textures made this one of the best vegetarian dishes I have ever cooked. This in now on my favorites list.

A new family favorite. My kids gulp this up and we never have left-overs. It's perfect for weeknights--easy, fast, and healthy.

So yummy and fast. A great vegetarian dinner option for those with dietary restrictions. The ginger salsa is delicious and forgiving. I was in a rush and accidentally added far to much onion to the food processor the first time I made it and it was still delicious!

My BF and I were on a Daniel Fast for 21 days and I came across this. This was delicious. We just omitted the cheese and it was still awesome!

Really good! I made the following additions: 1) Cooked rice and beans with the Brain-Boosting Broth, also available on epicurious; 2) I added some sauteed marinated boneless skinless chicken breasts to the mix; 3) added cilantro to the beans and rice. It was insanely good.
