Mish Mash

This ended up tasting pretty good even though I just made it up by taking out all the vegetables we had in the refrigerator and cupboard. The flavors are similar to black bean soup, which was my original thought, but then I decided I didn't want soup tonight...too hot outside.

Ingredients
1 cup white basmati rice
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 zucchini, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carton mushrooms, sliced
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tsp chili powder
Dash of cayenne pepper
2 1/2 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a pot. Add the garlic and onion and heat for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini, tomoatoes, and black beans. Add salt, pepper, and oregano. Add the mushrooms and stir all the ingredients together until the mushrooms begin to soften. Add the rice, water, salt, pepper, chili powder, and cayenne pepper and mix well. Cover the pot and cook until the water is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes.
