Happy Monday, my foodie friends!
The best thing about rice and beans is that there are so many ways to prepare the dish. So many different ingredients to add, and always the final product is delicious! Today, I want to show you one way of making rice and beans, and perhaps give you some new ideas regarding the dish. Adding roasted peanuts for a little crunch and curry ketchup for a funky twist, and oh my goodness, you'll fall in love!
Rice and Beans - the Jasmin way
(just because it’s cool to include my name in the recipe)
Ingredients:
3 dl rice (dry)
1 can kidney beans
peanuts (as much as you wish)
10-12 cubes frozen spinach
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tsp cajun seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
curry ketchup
Method:
Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Roast the peanuts on a dry frying pan. Once they’re ready, put them aside and melt the frozen spinach on the pan. Drain and rinse the kidney beans. Mix everything together, season and enjoy! 😋
Adding the curry ketchup actually wasn’t my intention in the first place, but once I had a plateful of rice and beans in front of me, I was thinking that the taste is a bit bland. So, I went to search for something I could add to give a bit more taste, and curry ketchup was what I found. Luckily I did, it goes super well with this dish!
No worries, I added more ketchup after taking this photo, first I just had to taste if it works!
