Cracked fennel Rice and Beans Skillet

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: long-grain rice, olive oil, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the celery and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the rice and beans, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the garlic and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the white wine and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
