JAMAICAN STYLE PEAS AND RICE (RED BEANS AND RICE)



Jamaican Style Peas and Rice (Red Beans and Rice) image

I love this recipe! My first time making red beans and rice in 2003 and it was perfect! I've never used the pepper and I also used extra seasonings like garlic powder etc. I use the canned beans because dried beans take so long to cook!! My kids can't wait that long! :-) This is great with a stew or a curry, like chicken or goat. Whenever I bought a stew or a curry from the Jamaican restaurants back home, they automatically came with this rice. If you eat it on it's own, it may seem a bit plain.

JAMAICAN RICE AND BEANS



Jamaican Rice and Beans image

My favorite rice. This is making rice & peas from "scratch", you can use canned red kidney beans if you would like to. Also the coconut milk can be omitted from this dish....it will taste good... not just as good. Lastly, If you want a true spicy Jamaican food flavor, add a Scotch Bonnet Pepper to the pot the same time you are putting in the scallion and thyme....

ROBERT'S RED BEANS AND COCONUT RICE (JAMAICAN STYLE)



Robert's Red Beans and Coconut Rice (Jamaican Style) image

This is a great rice and beans recipe we got from our good friend Robert West in Panama. However, this is more a Jamaican style than Panamanian style rice and beans. He told us that a Jamaican woman taught him this recipe. I only try to make it as good as he did. This is great with barbeque chicken, cole slaw, and candied plantains (or platano en tentacion, as they call it in Panama). Also good by itself as a snack. If you add more beans you could have a nice vegetarian dish. The flavors intensify if you let it set overnight. *To speed things up you can used canned beans and just add the extra veggies when cooking the rice.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb dried kidney beans
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet pepper (or bell peppers)
4 garlic cloves
salt
3 cups rice (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 -4 garlic cloves
3 -4 slices scotch bonnet peppers, minced (aji chombo)
2 (13 1/2 ounce) cans coconut milk
reserve water from beans
extra water to make 6 cups total liquid
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Rinse beans and soak overnight.
  • Cook beans with 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 cup peppers, 4 cloves garlic and salt (1 Tbsp?) until beans are tender but not mushy. Set aside and reserve water.
  • In a large flat bottomed pan (like large aluminum or soup pot), saute rice with other 1/2 c onion, garlic and hot pepper till peppers smell fragrant.
  • Measure out coconut milk, reserved bean water, and any extra water to make 6 cups total liquid.
  • Add 6 cups liquid, 1 tsp sugar, 3 tsp salt, and cooked beans to rice.
  • Cover and simmer on lower heat till all water is absorbed (20"?).
  • Make sure rice is good and dry, and then fluff with large serving fork. (Sometimes I let the rice dry out on the very lowest notch after it's done for up to 30"). Yes it will stick to the pan a little bit. The Panamanians call this dried sticky part concolon, and consider it a tasty addition to the dish.

JAMAICAN BEANS AND RICE



Jamaican Beans and Rice image

The idea for this recipe came from the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. The way I make it these days, however, is not much like the recipe in the book :) This is a really tasty, very filling, "meal in a bowl" type recipe. It has all the creamy, starchy goodness of macaroni and cheese but with no dairy! Coconut milk provides vital medium chain fatty acids and beneficial saturated fats to your diet, as well as tasting absolutely delicious. 3 cups of liquid to 1 1/2 cups of rice will make a risotto like consistency. If you want a bit more sauce increase the liquid to 3 1/2 cups total.
