Rice & Beans
Ingredients:
1 cup Beans (Red Kidney, Black or Pinto beans)
1 Medium onion –diced (for beans)
2 cups of white Rice
1 small onion – diced (for rice)
1pk powdered coconut milk (Grace) or 1 c. thick coconut cream
2 garlic clove
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbs oil
Method:
Beans: prepare beans overnight, if you have a slow cooker soak beans in water with garlic, onion (1/2 the onion) and some 1 tbsp oil with enough water to cover it; but if you have a pressure cooker then you can use it. Boil until the beans get tender but whole, when ready take the remaining onion and garlic and stir- fry it in 1 tsp of oil, add it to the beans with some salt and boil for 10 min then add the coconut milk or cream.
Stir fry the rice in the remaining oil with the onion and salt to taste. Add the boiling beans soup gradually (be careful not to put too much beans) and lower the heat and cover until liquid is absorbed. Stir gently with a fork, cover until rice is cooked.
Serve hot with stew chicken, stew beef or any meat dish with salad and fried plantain.
