are you interested in a beans and rice type recipe? If so, this is a favorite:

Black Beans and Rice

2 cups chicken (or vegetable) broth
1 cup rice (I like to use brown rice sometimes)
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 16oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup canned, crushed tomatoes
2 TBS red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp chili powder
2-3 TBS fresh chopped cilantro
================================================

Combine broth and rice, boil. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook onion and garlic in a skillet until fragrant. Add beans, tomatoes, vinegar and chili powder, stiring until well combined. Add rice, then add the fresh cilantro.
