CARIBBEAN-STYLE BEANS AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven or large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon to the hot pot and cook until light brown on both sides. Add the garlic and saute until light brown. Add the drained beans along with the cold water to the bacon and garlic and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until beans are just tender, about 1 hour. Add the chili peppers, cinnamon, coconut milk, scallions, thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice and, once the mixture has returned to a boil, stir, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all of the liquid. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before serving. Remove the thyme sprigs and Scotch bonnet pepper halves and serve.

CARIBBEAN WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and green pepper; cook until the onion begins to turn brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in the water, white beans, tomato sauce, garlic, cilantro, and calabaza. Season with the sazon packet, bouillon cube, salt, pepper, and cumin; stir well to combine.

VEGAN BEANS & QUINOA - CARIBBEAN STYLE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Sauté the peppers, onions and garlic until just cooked, about 10 minutes.
• While the peppers, onion and garlic are cooking, rinse the quinoa in several changes of water. Drain it well. Add the quinoa to the pan and toast it for a few minutes, just to dry it out a little.
• Add the remaining ingredients, stir well. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Add a little extra hot sauce if you dare! Sprinkle with fresh lime juice and serve.

CARIBBEAN BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until barely soft.
• Add the spices and sauté until very soft.
• Stir in the beans and orange juice and sauté for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
• Mash a few of the beans with a fork or the back of a spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding orange juice or mashing more beans. You can also blend the beans with additional orange juice to make an excellent bean dip!
