Add a photoI've adapted this recipe from a number that I have used in the past. You can deviate from this and it is still delicious! Normally, I serve this with a jerk marinated chicken or pork, but it also goes well with grilled fish, steak and many other treats. If you serve it with something that isn't spicy, try adding some of the spices I list as optional. BTW. Red beans are the #1 highest anti-oxidant food per serving according to the USDA, so this is both delicious and very healthy too!

It was an excellent addition to the jerked meat. I would like to try it with a little more kick to it.Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta1 person likes this review

This is simple but delicious. Ever since we lived in Weekhawken, NJ, and ate frequently in the Union Cafe (a Cuban cafeteria-style eatery) I've been a huge fan of both red beans and rice and black beans and rice. Healthy comfort food.Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta2 people like this review

This can be a meal in itself! This dish is full of fiber especially if you use brown rice. Fiber can fights heart disease and diabetesYo he cocinado/probado esta receta3 people like this review

Fantastic side dish. Compliments most meat or fish entrees. My kids liked the seasoning and the fact that it wasn't too spicy. I have even used the leftovers and added meat or fish to it to make a great meal in a bowl.Yo he cocinado/probado esta recetaEsta es una variación1 person likes this review

I really like this recipe. I don't however, care for cilantro - just a personal dislike of mine, so I would substitute parsley in this case. Thank you for sharing this!

Very similar to Caribbean traditional food "moro" which is delicious. In Dominican Republic rice and beans are called "the flag" as it is almost an everyday must meal. We generally soften the beans in a pressure cooker and then do a sofrito with all the spices and herbs, add the beans, wait for it to boil, add the rice and then let it dry, lower the fire and let it cook at slow fire for half hour. Love this recipe and it definitely goes well with meat that has a sauce...we also do it with black beans, white beans, green pigeon peas, etc...some people also add coconut milk...

Looks delicious! My husband loves red beans and rice from a box but I hate to make it because of the high sodium. Can't wait to try this much healthier sounding version!

I love red beans and rice, Looks inviting.. Tastes best with a spicy side dish.

I love a basic bowl of red beans and rice. It is filling, nutritious, and economical and of course tasty or I wouldn't eat it. Sometimes simple is the best.

08 de Noviembre de 2010This is definitely healthy and it looks and sounds delicious! I would have to omit the cilantro though and go with parsley. A great dish to try for lots of potassium!
14 de Septiembre de 2010There's a great song about red beans and rice by Spearhead, you can hear it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9yIfHyZ9n0- 06 de Julio de 2010I concur with Dean Grason - a little more heat. (for me) Otherwise an excellent dish. Brings back memories of Puerto Rico.
06 de Junio de 2010The nutrition facts are inflated by about 275 calories, because I think it is calculating it using 6 cups uncooked rice (about 18 cups cooked), but I assume it is meant to be 6 cups COOKED rice (about 2 cups uncooked). Actual calories per serving: about 375, not 651.
29 de Abril de 2010Looks healthy and delicious. My mom used to cook adzuki beans and some rice as a dessert soup...very delicious.
