  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup instant white rice, uncooked

  2. Slice zucchini lengthwise and chop.
  3. Add zucchini to skillet and sauté until tender, stirring often.
  4. Drain and rinse black beans from the can, then add beans to the skillet.

Helpful hints

  • Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, if desired for added flavor.
  • Instant brown rice can be substituted for instant white rice, if desired for whole grain option.
  • Cheese blend is optional,; omit if your phosphorus level is high.
  • Although beans are high in potassium and phosphorus, you can still include in a kidney diet when substituted for a meat entree. Beans are an excellent source of fiber.
