Roberts Red Beans And Coconut Rice Jamaican Style Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Saute garlic, onion, celery, and bell pepper until tender. Stir in kidney beans, onion powder, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Reduce heat to low and let mixture simmer slowly while you cook the rice.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil and stir in rice and butter. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes without removing the lid. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Fold rice and beans gently together and transfer to a serving dish. Serve garnished with cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put oil in a large ovenproof pot over medium heat. A minute later, add onion, bell pepper, chile and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add beans and enough water to barely cover. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat. Use an immersion blender or a potato masher to semipurée beans in pot (leave at least half unpuréed).
• Stir in rice, coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, thyme and a good amount of salt and pepper. (If you don't want a crust to develop, cover pot.) Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, then sprinkle with parsley or cilantro and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet. Gently saute onions, garlic and hot peppers, then add beans and vinegar and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the rice to the beans, then stir in stock, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in parsley, chives, hot sauce, salt, and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse rice thoroughly.
• Place rice in a large pot with a tightly fitting lid with 3 cups of water.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes covered. Or until all water has been absorbed.
• Removed pot from heat and keep covered until needed.
• In a blender, put 1/2 kidney beans and 4 cups vegetable broth and blend until smooth. Add remaining beans to mixture, do not blend. Set puree aside.
• Heat a 4-5 qt stew pot over high heat, add oil, wait until it simmers.
• Add onion and celery and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon until translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Add garlic, cook another 2 minutes.
• Add vegan sausage, chili powder, thyme, bean puree and bell pepper; bring again to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes stirring frequently.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• serve the red beans over rice and garnish with sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Place beans, garlic, coconut milk and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer the beans until they are tender, about 2 hours.
• Add 2 1/2 cups water, rice, scallions, thyme, 1 tablespoon of salt, and some freshly-ground black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, stir, then reduce heat, cover, and cook without stirring about 20 minutes, until rice has absorbed all the liquid.
• Allow mixture to stand for 15 minutes, still covered. Fluff rice and beans with a fork before serving and add additional salt and pepper, to taste, if desired.
