EASY RED KIDNEY BEANS & BROWN RICE WITH CHILI FLAVORS (VEGAN



Easy Red Kidney Beans & Brown Rice With Chili Flavors (Vegan image

I was browsing through my copycat recipes book and found one for Popeye's Red Beans & Rice which was the base for this recipe. I didn't know what a "16-oz can red chili beans in chili gravy" was so I figured a regular can of kidney beans oughta do it...and healthy brown rice! I had a few green onions so I added them for pleasing color and flavor, made a nice burrito base with queso blanco, spinach, and tofu!

Time 55m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup brown rice
2 cups water
1 dash salt
1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash garlic salt (I used a little salt and a little garlic powder)
1/2 cup green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cup lightly salted water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan to a boil, and immerse the brown rice in it. Loosely cover, lower the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the water. Fluff it up and put it into another bowl for now.
  • Put the rinsed and drained beans into a small bowl and mix with the olive oil.
  • In the same pot you cooked the rice in, lightly heat the oiled beans but don't boil them.
  • Add the dry spices and let cook for about 5 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
  • Remove from heat, mix with the warm rice and fresh green onions if you have them, and serve immediately.

EASY VEGAN CHILI

I like to serve soy yogurt with the chili, especially if it's too spicy. Leftovers taste great with noodles as pasta sauce.

Delicious bean, tomatoe & corn chili, adapted from a recipe which used to contain meat, but our family then became vegetarians! Lots of spice and flavor, not for those into mild foods. This is a fast & easy recipe, and you can experiment with more & different types of spices to tune it to your liking. My father has been making it for about 20 years now, and it is still awesome every time I eat it!
