Marinate the Feta: Crumble 4 ounces feta into a small bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Set aside to marinate while you cook — it’ll become tangy and flavorful.
Make flavor base: Heat 1 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large onion (chopped) and a pinch of salt, and sauté for 4 minutes until soft. Add ⅓ cup tomato paste, 2 cloves garlic (grated), 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add rice and beans: Stir in ⅓ cup water then mix in 1½ cups cooked basmati rice, 2 cans black beans (drained and rinsed), and 3 tablespoons chopped parsley. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and pepper, then stir well and cook for 5 minutes until hot and coated in the spiced tomato base.
Serve: Squeeze lemon juice over the top and finish with the marinated feta scattered on top. Serve warm, with extra parsley or chili flakes if you like a little heat. Also delicious with avocado slices and poached egg.
