Honduran Coconut Rice and Beans

I N G R E D I E N T S

- 1 pound of black beans cooked in water (or one can of beans). If you cook the beans at home, save about 1.5 cup of beans water to substitute for the water in this recipe.
- 2 cups of Bogopa Long Grain Rice
- 1 cup of water 
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk (more if you like)
- Bogopa Iodized Salt and pepper 
- One small onion finely chopped or 3 to 4 scallions finely chopped (green included)
- 1 garlic clove 
- 2 tablespoons of Bogopa Vegetable Oil 
 
 
I N S T R U C T I O N S
 
1. Heat the oil on medium heat in a shallow pan where you will usually cook rice.

 
2. Stir-fry the garlic and onion until the onion is translucent. Do not burn the garlic.
 
3. Add rice and stir-fry for a few minutes.

 
4. Add beans and liquids (the coconut milk and water or black bean cooking liquid). Liquid should be twice the amount of rice. Add salt and pepper to taste.

 
5. Bring it to a boil.

 
6. Simmer until rice is cooked and water absorbed. 

 
7. Serve hot. You may decorate with cilantro leaves and red pepper. This is a complementary dish for a meal or a main dish accompanied by fresh veggies or salad.
