Smoked-Paprika Rice and Beans Pilaf

Method

1. Start by prepping your long-grain rice, olive oil, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the rice and beans, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the greek yogurt and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a spoonful of yogurt right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
