LINDISIMA healthy cooking

 This is a dish from the marvelous rainforests of Honduras. The Garifuna people of Tela and Ceiba (places on the Caribbean side of Honduras) make this delicious recipe almost on a daily basis. Variations of this dish are common along the Caribbean. Traditionally it is a dish to complement a meal, not a main dish. 

8 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound of black beans cooked in water (or one can of beans). If you cook the beans at home, save about 1.5 cup of beans water to substitute for the water in this recipe.
2 cups of rice
About 1 cup of water 
About 1/2 cup of coconut milk (more if you like)
Salt and pepper 
One small onion finely chopped or 3 to 4 scallions finely chopped (green included)
1 garlic clove 
About 2 tablespoons of cooking oil

2- Stir-fry the garlic and onion until the onion is transparent. Do not burn the garlic.

3- Add rice and stir-fry for a few minutes.

4- Add beans. 

5- Add liquids, that is, the coconut milk and water or black bean cooking liquid should be twice the amount of rice. Add salt and pepper to taste.

6- Bring it to a boil.

7- Simmer until rice is cooked and water absorbed. 

Serve hot. You may decorate with cilantro leaves and red pepper. This is a complementary dish for a meal or a main dish accompanied by fresh veggies or salad.
