1. Put onion, bell pepper and celery into a saucepan with oil. Fry until onion is golden and starts to brown lightly. Add tomatoes and rice, and garlic. Stir around a little, and add enough water or stock to cover the rice. Add all the seasonings except salt, black pepper, soy sauce and chili.
2. Cook uncovered until most of the water has evaporated, then add the remaining seasonings. Check if the rice is ready. If not, add more water or stock and cook some more. It should take about 20 minutes for the rice to be ready.
3. When almost done, add the beans. Wait until all the liquid is gone and rice is done, then serve with plenty of leafy greens on top. It should taste a little sweet and spicy.
