fairyruneI made myself some rice and black beans for dinner. It's simple, delicious, and clean up is easy.
Instead of using olive oil to cook the garlic for the beans, I used just a leeeeetle bit of bacon fat.
I'm in heaven! This is the tastiest batch of rice 'n' beans I have ever made, for sure.
OMG. So good.

Date: 2009-03-25 01:09 pm (UTC)another trick for delicious rice and beans-
-- in a lightly oiled (yes, you could grease/oil it with bacon fat) not non-stick pan (stainless, enameled, cast iron) bring it to a high temperature and toss in your uncooked rice. Stir it and keep the raw rice moving about at high heat until you can start to see little brown spots; then cook the rice as per normal. A little 'pre-toasting' of the rice enriches the flavor of the dish. This method is generally employed traditionally when making paella or gumbo style dishes where the rice is added to the juices of what is cooking to be cooked itself, but it also nice when the rice is a side. This could also be done using 'last night's rice,' being plain rice, or rice that has been made and then chilled, becoming slightly dried-out like.
^_^ Enjoy!!!
