For my honeymoon, I went to Belize. As a vegetarian, I appreciated that every restaurant offered this dish. Besides being a complete protein, it tastes amazing and is simple to make. Ingredients:
1 cup dried kidney beans |
5 cups water |
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
salt and pepper |
1 pinch thyme |
2 cups white rice |
1 cup coconut milk |
1 teaspoon olive oil (to saute onion and garlic) |
Directions:
1. Soak the beans overnight. Cook them in a pressure cooker (or stovetop if you have patience and time), with 5 cups of water. Make sure the beans are clean, because you will need to use the cooking water when you are done.
2. In a large pot or dutch oven, saute the onion and garlic. Add the cooked beans and bean water, salt and pepper, and a pinch of thyme. Add the rice and coconut milk. Cover and cook over a low flame until rice is done. Make sure to stir it occasionally.
