So this last weekend, I went to The Whole Bowl food cart. They do one dish, made vegetarian and pretty hard. It tastes great, and so I tried to replicate it for dinner this week. Here is what I came up with.

1 1/2 cups brown rice
1 can black beans
1 can red beans
2 Serrano peppers
salt, pepper, cumin, mexican hot sauce
2 chicken breast
1 red onion
3 ribs celery
1 red bell pepper
1/3 pound chanterelles
paprika, garlic salt, black pepper, molasses, a splash of vinegar
salsa
Chinese citrus sauce
1 can black olives
chopped fresh cilantro
2 avocados
sour cream

I started off by making the two cans of beans a few hours a head of time to let them simmer and absorb the flavors. In the beans, I added the two Serrano's, chopped, and the salt, pepper, and cumin. I set this on low and when I started cooking the other stuff a few hours later, I turned up the heat to get a nice simmer and reduce the liquid as they were undrained. I then began cooking the brown rice in it's own pot.

In a large sauce pan with some oil, I tossed in the chicken breasts, diced fine, and the onion, celery, bell pepper chanterelles and the seasonings. I let this saute down until it was all cooked.

The rest was done fresh. I chopped up some cilantro, and some olives, sliced a bit of avocado up and topped off the layered bowl with these and a dollop of sour cream and the salsa, and store bought Chinese citrus sauce. Good stuff, and very filling.
