Jamaican Red Beans And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep skillet or medium sized saucepan with a good lid to medium high.
• Salt and pepper the chicken thighs and place them in the pan, skin side down.
• Brown both sides of the chicken thighs and then remove from the pan and keep warm.
• Adjust the fat in the pan by removing some or adding some and add onions to the fat in the pan.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme and curry powder and saute until they start to soften.
• Add rice and stir to coat the rice with the oil and seasonings.
• Add the liquid to the pan and raise heat to high.
• Scrape the bottom of the pan to get up the crusty bits and incorporate everything together.
• When the pot boils nestle the browned chicken into the rice and put the lid on the pan.
• Turn heat down to low and let simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
• Remove chicken from the rice and remove skin and bones.
• Shred meat and return to the rice.
• Add beans and any vegetables, stir to combine and let sit over low heat to warm the beans and vegetables.

Steps:

• Place beans, garlic, coconut milk and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer the beans until they are tender, about 2 hours.
• Add 2 1/2 cups water, rice, scallions, thyme, 1 tablespoon of salt, and some freshly-ground black pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, stir, then reduce heat, cover, and cook without stirring about 20 minutes, until rice has absorbed all the liquid.
• Allow mixture to stand for 15 minutes, still covered. Fluff rice and beans with a fork before serving and add additional salt and pepper, to taste, if desired.

Steps:

• Place beans and garlic in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When the beans are tender, stir in the coconut milk, green onions, Scotch bonnet, and thyme, and increase the heat to a boil. Stir in the rice, add some salt and pepper, cover the pot, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Transfer to a large serving bowl, taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Bring beans, 10 cups water, and garlic to boil at high heat. Simmer for about 1 hour or until beans are soft.
• Crack coconut, remove shell, and cut meat into small pieces. Put half of the coconut into blender with 2 cups water and puree. Repeat for remaining coconut. Strain the coconut through a strainer squeezing the milk out of the coconut (you will end up with approximately 3 cups of coconut milk).
• Add coconut milk, scallions, salt, and butter to the beans and bring to a boil. Then add rice and stir with a fork. Turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes or until water is cooked out. Be sure not to stir the rice until water is gone.

Steps:

• Combine the kidney beans, garlic, water and salt to taste in a saucepan. Cook, covered over medium heat until tender, about 2 hours.
• Add the coconut milk, pepper to taste, scallion, onion, thyme and whole fresh pepper.
• Bring to a boil, remove the hot pepper. Then add the rice and stir.
• Return to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until all the liquids have been absorbed. Serve hot as a side dish.
• * Can use 16-oz. can cooked beans instead. Drain and combine with water and other ingredients except rice. Boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add rice, boil, reduce heat and cook about 20 minutes or until liquids are absorbed.

Steps:

• Rinse beans and soak overnight.
• Cook beans with 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 cup peppers, 4 cloves garlic and salt (1 Tbsp?) until beans are tender but not mushy. Set aside and reserve water.
• In a large flat bottomed pan (like large aluminum or soup pot), saute rice with other 1/2 c onion, garlic and hot pepper till peppers smell fragrant.
• Measure out coconut milk, reserved bean water, and any extra water to make 6 cups total liquid.
• Add 6 cups liquid, 1 tsp sugar, 3 tsp salt, and cooked beans to rice.
• Cover and simmer on lower heat till all water is absorbed (20"?).
• Make sure rice is good and dry, and then fluff with large serving fork. (Sometimes I let the rice dry out on the very lowest notch after it's done for up to 30"). Yes it will stick to the pan a little bit. The Panamanians call this dried sticky part concolon, and consider it a tasty addition to the dish.

Steps:

• Drain the liquid from the can of beans into a measuring cup and add the can of coconut milk and enough water to make 500ml of liquid
