Vegetarian Peas & Rice

Vegetarian Peas & Rice

 

2/3 cup black beans (really any kind of pea or bean will do)

2 cups rice (uncooked)

1 pint coconut milk

1/2 cup chopped onions

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Using a large pot, combine the beans with 1 quart of water. Boil until

the beans are cooked. Next, add the coconut milk, salt, and pepper.

Cook over high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Then add the rice and cook

until the rice is done and the water has evaporated. This is a dry

dish that has a pasty consistency.

My friend, on different occasions, has added the following

ingredients: okra, spinach, kale, celery, tomatoes, carrots . . . you

get the idea--anything goes.
