White Beans Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Wash beans & add to stew pot, boil for 30-45 minutes.
• Brown ham in 1 tsp of oil until just brown.
• Remove ham & add 1 tsp of oil, onion, celery, bell pepper & garlic, cook until soft. (If sticky, just add a LITTLE water.).
• Add ham back to skillet and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
• Add skillet mixture to beans & season with salt, cayenne pepper, & bay leaves. (You can use more or less of any of the seasonings to suit your taste. Taste the liquid to make sure that it agrees to your tastes.).
• Cook in stewpot until beans are soft. (4-6 hours).
• Remove 1 1/2 cups of beans & mash. Add mashed beans back to mixture.
• Serve beans over rice.

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Stir in onion and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, cayenne, cumin, chili powder and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, beans, and water and stir well. Simmer mixture for 15-20 minutes or until it has thickened. Stir in the chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve hot over rice with various toppings.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Add the ham hock, onions, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bay leaves, thyme, and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the beans and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the beans just simmer and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the skin on the beans is tender and the beans begin to soften, about 2 hours. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the sausage and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and creamy, about 1 hour longer*. (If desired, the ham hock can be removed at this point and either discarded or, when cool enough to handle, the meat can be removed from the bone and returned to the beans and the bone and skin discarded.) Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs and serve the beans and sausage over hot white rice.
• Pass the hot sauce at the table for guests to use at their own discretion.

Steps:

• Place a medium saucepan on a back burner over low heat. Add the chicken broth and heat to warm.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Add the rice and increase the heat to medium. Stir the rice to coat in the oil and toast for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Deglaze with the wine and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until most of the wine has absorbed into the rice, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts and a pinch of salt, then stir to combine. Using a ladle, add 1 cup of the warm chicken broth into the rice. Stir frequently until the broth is absorbed and the rice begins to release its starches, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with 2 to 3 more additions of the remaining broth, stirring the rice frequently, until the rice is tender but slightly toothsome and the risotto is loose and soupy.
• Stir in the Lemony White Beans and 1 1/4 cups of the Parmesan. Serve individual portions in shallow bowls, topping with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the beans, olive oil, chiles, lemon zest and juice, salt and a couple turns of black pepper. Gently mash, leaving some beans intact. Set aside until ready to incorporate into the risotto.

Steps:

• Rinse the beans and put in a large pan with 1 onion, 1 carrot and 1 celery stick, all halved, 1 unpeeled garlic clove and the bouquet garni. Cover with water, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 30-45 mins, until the beans are almost tender but holding their shape.
• Meanwhile, chop the remaining onion, carrots and celery stick. Peel and finely chop the remaining garlic. Heat the butter and oil in a large pan, add the vegetables and gently fry for 10 mins until lightly coloured.
• Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Fish out and discard the whole vegetables and bouquet garni. Add the beans to the pan of vegetables with the tomatoes and sufficient reserved cooking liquid to just cover them. Top up with boiling water if necessary. Add plenty of salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for about 30 mins until the beans and vegetables are tender, then scatter with parsley, to serve.

Steps:

• Stack the kale leaves and cut in wide ribbons or chop coarsely. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, about five minutes. Add half the garlic, and stir together for 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant.
• Add the beans, bay leaf, and 2 quarts water. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat and lightly boil for one hour. Add the remaining garlic and salt to taste, and simmer for another 30 minutes to an hour until the beans are tender. At this point, most of the liquid may have boiled away, as the mixture becomes dry, add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time as it boils away. Continue to do so throughout the rest of the steps/process.
• Add the rice and pepper, and simmer 15 minutes until the rice is tender. Stir in the kale leaves, and simmer another five to 10 minutes until the kale is tender but still bright. The mixture should be thick like risotto. Season to taste with salt and a lot of fresh black pepper. Squeeze on the fresh lemon juice , and serve topped with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Flash boil dry beans for 5-10 min and then Soak them for 2-4 hours.
• Cooking: Drain the soaked beans and add 4 cups of water to boil. Add 1 tbs salt in water. While beans are coming to a boil, in a separate pot add 3 cups of water, 1tbs salt, 1 tsp chipotle seasoning, and 1 cup of brown rice. Bring to boil and allow boiling at medium heat for 30 minutes. Combined your chopped vegetables and add half of them to the boiling beans, and half of them to the boiling rice. Continue to allow the beans to cook on medium heat for 30 minutes. Once the beans are soft (not mushy) and the rice is fully cooked, pour the rice into the cooked bean mixture and let simmer for 10 minute Serve topped with fresh guacamole and fat free or vegan sour cream, or over sweet cornbread.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; saute garlic 1 minute. Add rice; cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in broth and herbs; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until rice is al dente, about 10 minutes., Stir in frozen vegetables and beans; cook, covered, over medium heat until heated through and rice is tender, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach until wilted. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium sauce pan, sauté onion,green pepper, and garlic.
• Sauté until tender@8-10 minutes.
• Add in remaining ingredients and stir until boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced@ 20 minutes.
• Serve over white rice.
• I like to mash a few of the beans with the back of a spoon to flavor the sauce.
• Note: if you do not have Sazòn Goya an appropriate substitute would be ground cumin, chicken bouillon, and garlic salt to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour white rice into a casserole dish and season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and oregano. Pour in olive oil and stir until rice is thoroughly coated with oil. Add salsa, chicken broth, and kidney beans; stir until evenly combined. Cover very tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove foil, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, and fluff with a fork. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Place the rice, water, salt, pepper and thyme in a saucepan and bring to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and leave for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and cooked.
• Drain and rinse the can of beans. When the rice is almost completely cooked, put the beans in the pot and cook until the rice is done and the beans are warmed through.
• Before serving, dollop a tablespoon or two of hummus into the rice and beans. I like using roasted garlic or red bell pepper hummus, but this is up to you.
• Enjoy!
