Hey guys,
Latin food is something I really love. Why? The beans people! I’m a huge bean lover and in the Surinamese kitchen, we also have a dish where beans are highly represented and that’s: Brown beans with rice. I guess it’s a South-American thing ;-)! I like to make chili sin carne (chili without meat)) and here is the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1.5 red onions, cut in slices
- 1 small broccoli, cut in slices
- 1 red pepper, cut in little blocks
- 150 gr. Organic corn (Bonduelle)
- 160 gr. Organic red Kidney beans (Bonduelle)
- 10 Roma tomatoes, each tomato cut in 4 pieces
- Garlic (you can use 2 tbsp. powder or fresh garlic)
- 1 tbsp. Turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp. Curry powder
- Himalaya salt
- Coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp. Chili pepper
- Plant-based oil
- Rice
Optional
- 350 gr. Big mushrooms cut in 4 pieces (this picture has a version without mushrooms)
- Pieces avocado as a side dish
- For the topping, chopped cilantro or celery
Instructions
Make sure to use the lid constantly while cooking this dish. Without the lid, you will lose too much damp
- Bake the Roma tomatoes and red onion with some plant-based oil
- Add the turmeric, curry, chili pepper, and garlic. Use the amount of salt and sugar that you want. Let it cook on medium heat for 10 minutes
- Switch to low heat and add the red pepper. Wait 5 minutes and add the broccoli. If you will use mushrooms make sure to add them together with the broccoli
- Wait again for 5 minutes and add the beans and corn. Switch to medium heat
- Taste if it’s necessary to add more herbs. You can add more if you want to
- Serve with your favorite rice. I love jasmine rice! Especially when its whole-grain that still contains B vitamins, iron, and fiber.
- Use optional the chopped avocado as a side dish and as topping for the main dish some cilantro or celery
