Prepare Basic Black Beans recipe, reserving liquid from beans.
In a 2-qt. saucepan, saute slab bacon and garlic in olive oil until
they are lightly browned. Remove from pan; set aside.
Put rice in the pan and cook until it begins to crackle. Add water
and liquid from black beans. Cover and cook over medium-low heat
until rice is rather dry (water will be almost completely absorbed)
and almost tender. Add black beans and olive oil; cook a little
longer until rice is tender but not too soft or mushy. Mix in
browned pieces of bacon and garlic. Serve hot.
