Cook the rice
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water, ½ the spices and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Roast the cauliflower
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the cauliflower.

Mise en place

Sauté the black beans
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the black beans and ½ the lime juice. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through; season with S&P.
Make the lime mayo
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, remaining lime juice and garlic, and S&P.
Plate your dish
