Red Beans & Rice

[Guest guest]

Wow! Thanks for all the good recipes....can't wait to try the veggie hash recipes, and lasagna. Someone requested the rice and beans recipe which I found on the back of the TVP recipe. I have not tried it yet, but here it is:

 

RED BEANS & RICE

A No-Fat Cajun Treat, Vegetarian Style

Overnight in 6 cups of water, soak 2 cups dried red beans, kidney or pinto beans. Drain and rinse well.

Cook in kettle with:

1 large onion, chopped

6 large cloves garlic, smashed

2 quarts boiling water

After beans have cooked 45 minutes, add:

2 cups TVP granules

3 Tablespoons Chili powder

1 Tablespoon Cumin

Continue cooking beans until tender, 20-40 minutes. Most of the liquid should have cooked into the beans and TVP. Taste and add salt.

Meanwhile, cook brown rice according to package directions:

1 cup Brown Rice (Basmati or Short Grain)

2 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

Mix the cooked salt and beans, taste, add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce if desired. Serves 8.

 

Let me know how it tastes if you make it.
