This rice dish combines white rice, shelled edamame, and cooked red beans with olive oil, paprika, and cumin. The rice provides a soft base, while the two beans give it contrasting textures. Fresh parsley finishes the dish after the ingredients are gently combined.
Cook the rice according to its package directions and prepare the edamame as required for the product you use. The red beans should already be cooked before they go into the pan. Warm the beans with the seasonings, then fold in the rice without crushing the grains. Serve warm as a substantial side dish alongside vegetables or another main course.

Notes
• Follow the white rice package’s liquid ratio, cooking time, and resting instructions. Fluff the cooked rice before adding it to the pan.
• Use shelled edamame rather than whole pods. Prepare frozen edamame according to its package directions before combining it with the other ingredients.
• The red beans must already be cooked. Drain and rinse canned beans, then let excess water drain away before adding them.
• Stir the paprika and cumin through the beans without letting the spices sit against the hot pan and scorch.
• Fold in the cooked rice gently to keep the grains intact and distribute the beans evenly.
• Add parsley just before serving. If desired, finish with a little lemon juice, tasting before adding more.
