Essentially this the Haitian version of 'rice and peas', a dish known and made throughout the Caribbean.
Ingredients:
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp butter
300g long-grain rice
160g red kidney beans (dried) [if old, soak over night in a bowl of water]
1 green chilli, finely chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil
30g salt pork, finely diced
salt, to taste
Method:
Add the red kidney beans to a pan along with 1l water. Bring to a boil and cook for abut 2 hours, or until just tender. Drain the beans (but reserve the water).
Fry the salt pork in a non-stick pan until crisp then add the onion and chilli and fry until the onion is tender (about 5 minutes). Add the beans and season with salt to taste. Transfer the bean mix to a large pan. Add the reserved water from the beans, bring to a boil then stir-in the rice. Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook gently for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
If the mixture is too wet, reduce to a low simmer and cook until dried. Serve hot.
