Turmeric Rice and Beans

This is a rice recipe I like to serve with Caribbean dishes such as jerk chicken or fish. It is very easy to put together, the rice cooker does it all. You can use chicken bouillon powder instead of the vegetable bouillon powder if you prefer.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup dry jasmine rice

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

3/4 cups water

1/2 cup coconut milk

2 teaspoons coconut oil

2 teaspoons vegetable bouillon powder

1 clove garlic processed through garlic press

Dash dried ground turmeric

Dash dried ground ginger

Dash dried ground allspice

Pinch dried ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

Rinse the rice until water runs clear.

Place all the ingredients together in a rice cooker, turn on cooker and allow running its course.
Fluff rice and serve.
