Capsicum, Corn & Black Bean Rice

This is a Mexican inspired rice dish, but I cooked it in the Japanese ‘Takikomigohan’ method. ‘Takikomigohan’ is a dish of Rice that is cooked with other ingredients and seasonings all together. Using a rice cooker, it is super easy. I placed Onion, Garlic and Capsicum in the pot first, so that they get slightly caramelised. Basically what you have to do is to place everything in the pot and press the start button. If you use different Spices OR Herbs, this dish can be in Mediterranean, Indian, OR any flavour.
