Coconut Rice With Black Beans Food

CARIBBEAN COCONUT RICE AND BEANS

Steps:

• Combine coconut milk, bay leaf (or garlic) if you're using it, and rice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add some salt, lower heat to low and cover. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't scorch.
• Uncover. Cook, stirring over low heat, until rice is tender and mixture is creamy, about 15 minutes. At about the 10-minute mark, stir in beans. If liquid evaporates before rice is done, stir in water (about 1/2 cup at a time), and cook until done.

VEGAN COCONUT-GINGER BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Rinse 1 can of black beans, and set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium. Add the cumin and half of the ginger and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rinsed black beans and the remaining whole can of black beans (including the liquid), and the coconut milk; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and the mixture is flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you want a thicker consistency, smash some of beans with the back of a spoon as the mixture cooks, and simmer longer.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crumble the plantain chips into bite-size pieces. Add the lime zest and a few generous grinds of black pepper, and stir to combine.
• Remove the beans from the heat. Stir in the remaining ginger and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice a little at a time until the beans taste bright but the coconut flavor is still rich. Top with the seasoned plantain chips and serve with hot sauce for more kick.

COCONUT RICE WITH BLACK BEANS, PLANTAINS, AND MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Cook the rice in your usual way (on the stove top or in a rice cooker). Replace one can's worth of water with the coconut milk. Then add in an extra quarter cup of water.
• Roughly puree the mango, jalapeno, garlic, red onion, cilantro, and kosher salt in a mini food processor. You will wait to retain some texture so blend for 10 seconds.
• Warm your serving bowls or plates. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is shimmering, add the plantains in a single layer. Fry, until brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until browned and tender, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
• To serve, you may either divide the rice among four bowls and top with plantains, beans, avocado, mango, cilantro, and sauge. Or serve all of the ingredients separately and let diners make their own. Pass the lime quarters to squeeze over the finished plate as desired.
