Categories     Pasta and Rice

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

225 g/ 8 oz/ 1 cup white rice
vegetable stock to cook the rice (from a cube is fine)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
1 medium onion
1 red bell pepper
1 small chili (See note 1)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
200 ml/ 6.7 fl.oz/ ¾ cup coconut milk (½ a can of 400 ml/ 14 oz)
1 can kidney beans (400 ml/ 14 oz)
2-3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon butter
some fresh parsley
fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Wash the rice in a sieve. Place in a pot, cover generously with vegetable stock, and bring to a boil. Add a little salt if the stock is not salty enough, turn the heat down and simmer the rice, covered, 5 minutes less than required by the packet's instructions. Drain well.
  • In the meantime, chop the onion, bell pepper, and chili. Grate the ginger and the garlic.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook the onion, pepper, and chili for about 3-4 minutes or until they are softer. Add the ginger and garlic and stir for one minute.
  • Add the sweet paprika powder, ground black pepper, and dried thyme and stir for another minute.
  • Add the cooked rice to the pan. Add coconut milk and drained kidney beans. Heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the beans are heated through.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice and salt to taste. Stir in the butter. Taste again and add more lemon juice (not too much) and salt if necessary.
  • Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top and serve as suggested above.

QUICK JAMAICAN RICE AND PEAS



Quick Jamaican Rice and Peas image

This recipe is from Jamaicans.com. It uses a slow cooker, which I think is great. There is, however, a problem with one of the ingredients. It calls for pigeon peas in coconut milk. I've never seen that here. Although I haven't made this recipe, I think you could use regular canned pigeon peas and replace about 1/2 cup of the water with coconut milk. Perhaps add a little extra coconut milk for the juice that would have been in the peas. Time is just a guesstimate.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups Uncle Ben's converted brand rice
3 sprigs thyme
2 garlic cloves
2 scallions
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can pigeon peas (with coconut milk like Ocho Rio brand, red peas ok)
3 1/2 cups water (Or use the required amount for the rice cooker)
1 scotch bonnet pepper (left whole)

Steps:

  • Pour the rice in the rice cooker.
  • Combine the water, green pigeon peas with coconut milk, salt, pepper, thyme, garlic and scallions. Pour over the rice. Rice should be completely covered with water, and at least an inch above it if this recipe is like others I have cooked.
  • Place Scotch bonnet in the pot (Do not cut it up if you don't want a lot of heat.) Turn on the rice cooker. Serve when finished. Don't keep the rice cooker on warm as it will burn the bottom of the rice.
