Caribbean Red Beans and Rice

 

Ingredients:

1 diced onion

3 cloves garlic

1/4 - 1/2 tsp nutmeg and cinnamon

1/2 - 1 tsp cloves.

salt, black or cayenne pepper to taste

1 can kidney beans

1 can (14 oz) tomatoes

1 cup rice

 

Directions:

Chop up onion and garlic and toss them into a deep frying pan or a

saucepan. Fry them in a little olive oil until onions are as usual,

translucent. Add the spices. (I tend to use the larger amount)

 

Drain and reserve liquid of 1 can kidney beans. Put beans in pan, saute

around a little bit.

Drain and reserve liquid of 1 can (14 oz) tomatoes. Moosh tomatoes up,

put them in and saute around a little bit too.

Add 1 cup rice, any kind, and the appropriate amount of liquid, using

the reseved kidney bean and tomato juice for some of it, and topping up

with water.

Cover the pan, let simmer until the rice is cooked and you have a nice

thick tomatoey clovey yummy bunch of beans and rice.
