Time 2h5m

Yield 7 1/2 cups, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dried red beans (small)
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small dried red chili
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
4 cups vegetarian broth or 4 cups water
2 cups long-grain white rice
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Pick and debris from beans then rinse and drain them.
  • In a 6 quart pot combine beans, onion, garlic, chili, coconut milk, and broth.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are almost completely soft when pressed, 75-90 minutes.
  • Stir in rice, cover and cook over low heat until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. (add a little extra broth or water if needed to prevent sticking.).
  • Discard chili. Add salt to taste.
