SIMPLE COCNUT RICE N BEANS

I am an expert when it comes to rice dishes. Rice is actually one of favorites and my obstacle to losing weight. I prepare two rice dishes every week. This recipe is simple really.

SIMPLE COCONUT RICE BEANS

 
Ingredients
2 cups of long grain rice
½ cup Nigerian sweet beans
2 knorr cubes
Salt
Whole chicken or beef or fish
Coconut milk
Crayfish
Pepper – optional
Olive oil
Green pepper
Onions
Ginger

Butterfly Chicken

I watched a Youtube video to learn this. Watch here  http://video.about.com/bbq/How-to-Butterfly-a-Chicken.htm

Blend green pepper, small ginger, onions, and 1 cube of knorr and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Put the chicken in a bowl; pour the mix on the chicken. Cover and put into the fridge to marinate overnight.

Roast in the oven for an hour 25 mins 170 degrees the next day.   

Beans

Cook the beans as directed here  http://labelle-afrilight.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/bean-n-stew.html

For the rice

In a medium pot, add water and bring to boiling. Once boiled, add the rice and boil for 5 mins, drain with water with a sieve and set the rice aside.

Wash the pot, pour the coconut milk in, add 100mls of water and bring to boiling. Wash the crayfish with warm water and blend with the onions and pepper.  Add 2 cubes of knorr and salt. Taste, add more salt if you need to.

Cover the pot and allow boiling, so the ingredients all mix together. Add the rice, allow boiling for 2 mins, and then turn the gas to the lowest so the rice soaks up the water. Turn the rice time and again so to ensure the heat goes round evenly. This could take about 15mins.

Turn and serve hot with the Roasted chicken

Enjoy.
