Beans and Rice
I adopted this recipe from a diet magazine. I made changes to make it vegetarian .It is simple recipe and it's completely oil free.
Ingredients1 cup dry red beans
1 garlic clove
1 bay leaf
1 all spice
1 medium size onion, chopped
1 medium size green pepper , chopped
1 tsp vinegar/ lemon juice
1 cup Rice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Method
1) Pick through beans to remove bad beans. Rinse beans thoroughly. Soak beans in water overnight.
2) Use Pressure cooker to cook beans with 2 quarts of water, 2 tbsp onion, 2 tbsp green pepper, garlic, all spice and bay leaf. Cook so that beans are tender, but not completely mashed. If you don’t want to use pressure cooker and slow cook the beans, then use more water and reduces heat. Cover and cook over low heat for about 1-1/ 2 hours or until beans are tender.
3) Stir and mash 1/4 of the beans against side of pan, to give some thickness to the bean and water mixture.
4) Add lemon Juice or vinegar and black pepper. Remove all spice and bay leaf. Cook uncovered, over low heat, until creamy. Serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish with the vegetables you like. Use Carrots, Onion, and pepper to make the serving colorful.
