Time 1h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices smoked bacon or 1 small ham hock
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 cup dried red kidney beans, brought to a boil and cooled, drained
5 cups cold water
1 Scotch bonnet, halved and seeded, or 2 serrano chilis
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
4 scallions, crushed*
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups long-grain rice, washed and drained

Steps:

  • Heat a Dutch oven or large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon to the hot pot and cook until light brown on both sides. Add the garlic and saute until light brown. Add the drained beans along with the cold water to the bacon and garlic and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until beans are just tender, about 1 hour. Add the chili peppers, cinnamon, coconut milk, scallions, thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice and, once the mixture has returned to a boil, stir, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all of the liquid.

SPICY BLACK BEANS AND RICE



Spicy Black Beans and Rice image

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dried black beans, soaked in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches overnight or quick-soaked (procedure follows) and drained
1 ham hock
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons dried orégano, crumbled
3 cups coarsely chopped onion
2 green bell peppers, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder
a 28-ounce can Italian tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh coriander, or to taste
red-wine vinegar to taste
cooked rice as an accompaniment
chopped radish or red onion as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a kettle combine the beans, the ham hock, the garlic, the bay leaf, the orégano, the onion, the bell peppers, the red pepper flakes, the chili powder, and 8 cups water and simmer the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir in the tomatoes and salt to taste and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour, or until the mixture is thickened. Discard the bay leaf, remove the ham hock from the mixture, and chop the meat. Stir the meat into the mixture with the coriander and the vinegar and serve the beans over the rice with the radish or onion.
  • To quick-soak dried beans:
  • In a colander rinse the beans under cold water and discard any discolored ones. In a kettle combine the beans with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and boil the beans for 2 minutes. Remove the kettle from the heat and let the beans soak, covered, for 1 hour.
