    Whirl until smooth.

  10. 10

  14. 14
    You will have 2 or 3 double skewers, depending on the length of your skewers.
  15. 15

  17. 17
    Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes-check to make sure rice isn't sticking.
  18. 18
    In a small sauce pan over low heat pour in beans with their liquid.
  19. 19
    Allow to simmer, stirring a few times to prevent sticking.
