For my honeymoon, I went to Belize. As a vegetarian, I appreciated that every restaurant offered this dish. Besides being a complete protein, it tastes amazing and is simple to make! This version of the dish is credited to Elvi's Kitchen in Ambergris Caye.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup dried kidney beans
5 cups water
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper
1 pinch thyme
2 cups white rice
1 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon olive oil (to saute onion and garlic)

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight. Cook them in a pressure cooker (or stovetop if you have patience and time), with 5 cups of water. Make sure the beans are clean, because you will need to use the cooking water when you are done.

BELIZEAN RICE AND BEANS

This is from Just Food. I haven't tried it yet. In Belize they use a small piece of salt pork in it and omit the salt. I think that could be very good. I have no idea how long it takes to make.
