Caribbean Rice And Beans Recipe
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.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 yellow onion diced, small
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- 1 thyme large sprig fresh or ¼ teaspoon dried
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 Scotch bonnet chili pierced with a knife *See note, or habanero chili
- 1 cup jasmine rice or long grain rice
- 1 black beans drained and rinsed, canned
- 1 cup coconut milk shaken or stirred well (full fat is best but low-fat also works, canned
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 3 scallions thinly sliced
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.
