Dutch Brown Beans and Rice image

In the Netherlands this dish is called 'Bruine Bonen met Rijst'. The Dutch brown beans can be difficult to find outside of Europe, so you can use canned pinto beans as a substitute, just rinse and drain them well. The recipe dates back centuries to the sugar plantations in Suriname (a former Dutch colony). Undesired cuts of meat...

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 lb salt pork (or use 4 or 5 thick slices salt-cured bacon if you can't find salt pork)
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 large tomato, chopped
3 cups dutch brown beans (or 2 (15-oz) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained)
1 cup water
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp beef bouillon granules
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup fresh celery leaves
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
FOR SERVING
4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté the salt pork in a skillet until soft and transparent. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the skillet, and stir well. Add the tomato and cook about 3 minutes or until the tomato is soft. Add the beans, water, tomato sauce, ginger, pepper, beef bouillon and bay leaf. Bring to a brisk boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 20 minutes. The pork tends to be salty, but you can add salt at this point, if preferred.
  • 2. While the pork/bean mixture simmers, prepare the rice according to package directions.
  • 3. After the pork/bean mixture simmers for 20 minutes, remove the bay leaf. Then stir in the sugar and celery leaves, and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  • 4. Divide the rice among 4 large bowls or serving plates with high sides. Spoon the pork and bean mixture on top of the cooked rice, and serve immediately.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The beans were cooked perfectly and the rice was fluffy and light. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

Not bad, but not great either. The beans were a bit overcooked and the rice was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was just okay. The beans were a bit bland and the sauce was too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
