I've been trying to come up with a way to introduce my kids to black beans and this was a great start. The rice is not spicy, but has a great blend of flavors, plus a healthy portion of black beans.
We served these Jamaican Beans and Rice with Caribbean Jerk-Rubbed Chicken Kabobs, with some extra grilled pineapple on the side as dessert.
1 TB Olive Oil
1 TB Butter
1 cup Jasmati Rice
1 small Onion, diced
2 cups Water or Chicken Broth
1 can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
2 TB Ketchup
2 tsp Frank's Hot Sauce
2 tsp Caribbean Jerk Seasoning (same rub used on the Caribbean Jerk-Rubbed Chicken Kabobs)
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil, butter and onion over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the rice and sauté until the onion is softened, about 6 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, stir and cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
