Method

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pan and cook the onion, garlic and carrots for 7-8 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Stir in the smoked paprika and bay leaves, then add the black beans with 300ml water.

  3. 3

    Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, mashing a few spoonfuls of beans against the pan to thicken the sauce.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the pack instructions.

  5. 5

    Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the kale for 3-4 minutes until just wilted.

  6. 6

    Remove the bay leaves and serve the beans over the rice, with the kale and orange wedges alongside.
