You need to start with a sofrito base. I even add corn cut right off the husk sometimes. Look it up. OR New Orleans style red beans and rice. You do need a ham hock, or bone or even a steak, to make it super yummy. Happy cooking. |

What are you stocking that you don't like? Tell us about it. Cook beans with a bit of sea salt, cumin, black pepper, a bit of turmeric, Cheyenne pepper, Spanish or smoked paprika and/or some garlic powder oregano seasoning. Cook rice with some sea salt... Add hot southwest salsa, heated, with some cheese on top of the bean, rice and salsa mix... Frankfurters also go well with beans & rice. So basically add some spices and hot southwest salsa, and if possible some cheese to taste. Or some cilantro also, if the salsa doesn't have any, most of these are fresh ingredients though, not so much for stocking food, apart from the salsa. |

Tell us about it. My favorite. And cheap. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73832572 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. Seems like you and I are the only people in this country that don't do pepper! High five on that! Your ideas are great, and the fact that you love beans and rice make me very curious if I could come to that point as well. How do you cook pinto beans? They were on a great sale so I have a quantity. Nobody has mentioned them - are they like the worst bean ever or something? Should I hide them lest people think I am an Okie or ridge runner or some such?

What are you stocking that you don't like? Tell us about it. Everybody’s suggestions are amazing, I love beans! This is something different to try that I absolutely love. Take 2 cups of cooked beans, i usually use kidney for this but any kind will do. Add 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard, 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix. You don’t want it watery and you don’t want it dry either you want it to be a little juicy. Cook short brown rice a little on the dry side so it’s chewy and not mushy. Just add a little less water when you’re cooking When it’s cooked Sprinkle on the top ground up sesame seeds and salt. Eat them separately don’t mush them all together. Beans are best if you soak them overnight, drain the water and add new water and then cook them slowly for several hours. Never add salt until they’re cooked almost all the way through. For most beans I always add in the beginning of cooking a large onion, several cloves of garlic and a couple bay leaves. Season after they are cooked with whatever you want or nothing because they’re good that way too! |
