Haitian red beans and rice (riz et pois collé)

This traditional Haitian dish is my favorite kind of rice. It is absolutely delicious, tasty and very easy. The flavor is so unique. Everytime I cook it for my guests, they ask for more! You really have to try it!

Serves 6 People

- 2 cups of long grain rice
- 1 cup of red kidney beans
- 4 or 5 cloves garlic, crushed
-1 ounce of salt pork cut into small cubes
-1 chopped green pepper (hot)
- salt, to taste
-2 tbsp vegetable oil

Fry the salt pork in a non-stick pan until crisp then add the garlic and chilli.
Add the beans (save the water!) and season with salt to taste.
Transfer the bean mix to a large pan. Measure the reserved liquid from the beans, and add enough water to make 4 cups. Bring to a boil over high heat then stir-in the rice. Return to a boil, then lower heat to medium-high and cook uncovered until liquid evaporates.
Cover the pan tightly and cool on low setting for 20 minutes.


Bon appétit!
