Caribbean Rice And Beans Recipe

Ashley Lopez

Report

Caribbean Rice and Beans is an easy-to-make side dish that's packed with protein and flavor! Tender black beans and perfectly cooked rice cooked in nutty coconut milk and seasoned with lots of tropical spices. It's great served with grilled meats and seafood, tacos, or eaten as a meal on its own. It's vegan, gluten free, made from mostly pantry ingredients and is one of my favorite sides of all time.

Notes

*For less spice, don't pierce the chili. For more spice, slice it in half. For even more heat, dice the chili and sauté with the onion.
For a little added flavor, you can use chicken stock or vegetable broth in place of the water.
