Dats It. Rice and Beans

[Peasie]

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">Here's my take on a favorite meal. Your ingredients are:



Olive Oil
Onion
Garlic
Flour wid likkle water to mek spinners
Thyme, pictured from my garden
Scotch Bonnet Pepper
Ham steak, use half of what is pictured, cut up in cubes
Large can of beans.
Salt and pepper to taste ... warning, you may not need the salt

Saute onions, garlic, thyme in olive oil. Add ham. Turn heat down low. Add spinners and cover pot tightly. Add a little water if necessary. Cook until ham is done. Remove pepper. Remove thyme stalks. Add beans. Cook likkle more. Taste. Season according to taste.

Dats it.

Re: Dats It. Rice and Beans

i like rice and peas with:

turtle beans (the ones pictured);
black eyed peas;
green lentils (whole)
mung beans;
gungo peas.

not all at once

i have black glutinous rice and i thought i could make a nice contrast by putting navy beans (di white one dem), but there was no contrast as the rice gat plenty strang colour

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">Simmering in pot before adding beans


Keep scotch bonnet in saute mixture only for the flavor
Then remove and put on pot cover just like my mother, grandmother,
and great-granny used to do.



Den save whole pepper to serve on husband's plate
just like mother, grandmother, and great-granny used to do </span>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">With beans, only basmati rice for me. I like all your beans selections except, sorry to say, black eye peas.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">How yuh eye so sharp? Yep, have to keep the scotchbonnet in the freezer. I go for the flavor/aroma of the mighty Scotch and not so much the heat. </span>
