Time 8h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

onion, finely diced
1 cup small dried red beans
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
14 1/2 ounces coconut milk (full fat is best. If you prefer to use low fat, add a drop or two of coconut extract to intensify th)
3 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups long grain basmati rice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 limes, cut in wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • Use a 4 quart slow cooker.
  • Sort beans and soak overnight in water to cover.
  • In the morning drain the water and dump the beans in a large pot of fresh water.
  • Boil rapidly on the stovetop for at least 10 minutes before draining and putting in the crockpot.
  • Per Stephanie O'Dea Red beans MUST be boiled on the stovebefored being added to the slow cooker to kill a possible toxin that occurs naturally.
  • Add onion, garlic and red pepper flakes.
  • Pour in the entire can of coconut milk(the creamy stuff, too) and chicken broth.
  • Stir in raw rice and kosher salt.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until beans are bite tender.
  • Before eating, squeeze on a bit of lime juice.
  • "These are some killer beans. I loved how everything cooked together in one pot and how coconuty the rice tasted. My grandma took home in a big Tupperware and reported back that they froze and reheated quite well(she nuked to reheat).".
