Description
A wonderful recipe for a simple red beans and brown rice dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15 oz can of Dark Red Kidney Beans
- Oil for the Saute
- 1 small Onion chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, pressed or minced
- Hot Pepper Flakes to taste
- 1 tsp Brown Mustard Seeds
- 1 to 2 tsp Rogan Josh Seasoning, or you favorite blend
- Fistful of Cilantro
- Brown Rice (Trader Joe’s)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the oil on medium with the mustard seeds, hot pepper flakes, Rogan Josh blend, onion, and garlic. Saute until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add your beans (you rinsed these, right?) with about half a can of water, add your cilantro, and let bubble ’til the flavors have melded and it’s the consistency you want. Now’s a good time to taste for seasoning. I’m often heavy handed with spices, so I added more. I may even have thrown some vindaloo spice in there for a little punch, but I’ll never tell.
- Serve over brown rice! What did that take, like 10 minutes? Yep.
