Jamaican red beans and rice recipe. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

look up coconut rice on food network. it is awesome with jerk chicken or Caribbean food. I use what ever kind of "peas" I can find this time of year at the farmers market.. Jerk Chicken....drooling.

Rice and Peas Recipe courtesty Virginia Burke, Walkerswood Caribbean Kitchen, Simon and Schuster, 2000  

Show:  Sara's Secrets

Episode:  Everyday Caribbean  









  

1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans

1 1/2 cups coconut milk

3 spring onion stalks, chopped

1 sprig fresh thyme

Salt and pepper

2 cups long-grain rice

1 whole Scotch bonnet pepper

Place beans, coconut milk, onions, thyme, salt, and pepper in large saucepan and add rice. Top with water, if necessary, so that there is about 2 1/2 times as much liquid as rice and beans. Place the hot pepper on top and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover. Let the rice steam slowly for about 25 to 30 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not stir while cooking or allow the pepper to burst.

Remove the pepper and thyme stalk, then fluff lightly before serving.

Answer 2

Answer 4

Quickest is to put a half can of red beans in a sauce pan, add cups of water and bring to a boil.  Then add 2 cups of long grain white rice.  Return to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add salt, safron and/or cayenne to taste.

Many better recipes, but that's the quicky
