Many island dwellers refer to kidney beans as "peas," so don't let the title fool you. This dish is low in fat yet high in fiber, protein, and calcium.
Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 1 cup)
Ingredients:
1 (14-ounce) can light coconut milk
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 cup long-grain white rice (such as jasmine)
1 (15-ounce) can dark kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Preparation
Combine the first 7 ingredients (through garlic) in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Stir in rice; reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Remove pan from heat; remove the thyme sprigs and garlic, and discard. Gently stir in the beans. Cover and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
