Re: What will make beans & rice taste good? What are you stocking that you don't like? Tell us about it.
If you've been following the news about food shortages and high prices just around the corner, you are wisely stocking food, including beans and rice.

I am doing the same, because beans and rice are cheap, though they won't be for long, and healthy, as well. I just can't stand beans.

So, please tell me your tricks, secrets, hints to make beans and rice actually enjoyable, instead of just a way not to starve.

Use any flavor broth instead of water. Lots of onion, and garlic. I like cumin as well.

 Quoting: In Yer Neck


The broth makes sense - change the taste - cook from the beginning in that, or add later?

Loving onion and garlic, so that definitely works!
 Quoting: Pooka


Definitely cook in the broth. That way the beans get the flavor. I keep extra ramen noodle packets for just that reason. In case I don't have broth on hand.

Use a can of chicken soup in place of some of the water. It will give the rice a nice chicken flavor and the noodles add another texture level.

I also mix marinara sauce in there on occasion with or without shredded cheese. Kind of comes off like spaghetti. You could probably also use tomato soup for that too. Any soup you like actually.

My favorite. And cheap.

Use black beans or navy beans. Sometimes I use that Vigo yellow rice and make it Cuban style, its delicious with Tabasco on it. Dont forget onions, thats what really makes them taste great. Hot sauce and onions. A little vinegar in the beans tastes good. Let the beans simmer on low with a lid and the onions in them so they get flavor. Salt. Thats about it. I can't eat pepper but I wouldn't use it anyway.

My absolute favorite is blacks beans with onions over corn bread with lots of Tabasco sauce. I could eat that every day its so good. Corn bread is really cheap. Use two small boxes. I add a couple tablespoons of honey to my mix but you can use sugar. Top it with butter when it comes out of the oven.

Add curry to the rice.
Nothing is more disgusting than plain white rice.
Take what you have in the house and add it to the beans. It should include at minimum:
A) A sauce for flavor (teriyaki, mexican, bbq, etc)
B) Something for it to sit in (gravy or tomato sauce, etc)
C) A little extra seasoning
D) some veggies, whatever you've got that goes along with A

Great thing about rice, it has a pretty neutral flavor. You can add it to any slop like dish, macaroni, chili, soup, stew and it doesn't change the flavor too much, but makes more of it.

Is it possible to add the rice when the beans are nearly done and cook them together?

We certainly will need all the nutritional value we can get, since we will not be eating normally, and probably will either forget or run out of vitamin and mineral supplements.

This is a good time to stock up on hams with bone in, bacon ends and pieces, smoked ham hocks, all the things we could put in beans to make them palatable and more nutritious.

Prices will be sky high by fall and a year from now probably not be able to find much of anything we want to buy, unless for a king's ransom.

curry sauce in a jar, either ready to eat or a jar with lots o portions in, so concentrated curry sauce which you add other ingredients to make the sauce.

i recomend the curry sauces - tikka masala or jalfrezi.

add hot pepper powder for heat and stir in.

optional add any vegetable or more than one, canned, fresh or frozen is ok.

put the cooked drained rice on the plate then pour over the curry sauce already mixed with beans and vegetables and hot pepper powder.

its a great meal and relatively cheap depending on the sauce..
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74993099


The idea of adding vegetables is great - and you are so right - a great and cheap meal, with plenty of calories and energy packed in.
