Categories     Bean

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup quick-cooking brown rice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped (or 1 cup frozen, thawed)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
2 (15-ounce) cans low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (13.5-ounce) can lite coconut milk
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 mango, diced (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook rice according to package directions (omitting any fat). 2. Heat oil in large, deep skillet over medium high; add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, until somewhat softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. 3. Stir in curry paste, black beans, tomatoes, coconut milk and brown sugar; simmer 20 minutes. 4. Stir in lime zest and juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in mango, if using. Serve over rice

Tips:

  • Use the right type of beans: Small beans like lentils or black beans work best for this recipe. Larger beans like chickpeas or kidney beans may take longer to cook and may not absorb the curry flavor as well.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a flavorful curry powder: The curry powder is the key to the flavor of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality powder. Look for a curry powder that has a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level: This recipe is mild, but you can easily add more curry powder or cayenne pepper to taste. If you're not sure how spicy you like your food, start with a small amount of curry powder and add more to taste.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Curried beans and rice is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Try it with yogurt, chutney, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Curried beans and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
