This is a tasty treat I taught myself to make when I was
   snowed in and couldn't get to the grocery store. Tasty and
   easy to make. Prep Time: approx. 5 Minutes. Cook Time:
   approx. 30 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 35 Minutes. Makes 4
   servings.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
4 1/2 cups water, divided
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 pinch dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
5 teaspoons adobo seasoning, divided
2 cups uncooked white rice

Directions
1 In a large saucepan combine olive oil, kidney beans,
   tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, oregano, basil, thyme, salt,
   pepper and 2 teaspoons adobo. Simmer on low heat.
2 Meanwhile, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add rice and
