Rice is a staple food for us. I usually cook basmati rice at home, at times I use the short grained Calrose (Australian) rice to make dishes like risotto and mixed rice. This recipe is another of my 'improvised' quick meals that actually works quite well as a complete one-pot dish.
The Recipe
Soak half a cup of black eyed beans overnight. The next morning pressure cook the beans with some cloves of garlic.
Other Ingredients
one tomato
vegetable or chicken stock (2-3 cups)
1 cup basmati rice
half cup chopped greens like kale, baby spinach, green spring onion bottoms
salt to taste
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
Put the rice, tomato and pressure cooked beans in a thick bottomed pan. Add the stock and bring to a boil and then simmer for about 25 minutes or till rice is done (add more stock as needed). Add the greens and cook another 6 minutes or so; add the cheese and salt as needed. Serve hot.
