Jamaican Rice and Black Beans


Serves: 6

This is one of those I-can’t-wait-to-make-it-again dishes. The chile is cooked whole with the rice and is there just for a bit of flavor. It doesn't make the rice hot at all, as it stays whole and you discard it at the end.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons oils
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups long-grain rice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup water
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 cups coconut milk
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 whole habanero chili
lime

Directions:

1 Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute for 4-5 minutes, until they begin to brown on the edges.
2 Add the garlic and rice, stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
3 Add the grated ginger, salt, water, stock and coconut milk and stir well. Add the black beans and sprinkle the thyme over everything. Add the whole habanero chili; it will season the rice much like a bay leaf would. Bring to a simmer, then turn the heat to low and cover.
4 The rice should be done in about 15-20 minutes, depending on the type of rice you are using (some long grained rice takes longer to cook). Check after 15 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and cover for 10 minutes. To serve, fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with a little lime juice. Discard the habanero (or eat it, if you dare!)
