Pea nest
Fast, tasty and hearty dish. Carbohydration without limits! :)
Preparation steps
- Beans
- Heat the oil over medium heat (2 out of 3 for me). Shake out the contents of the can. I use Bonduelle mexicana mixture - red beans and sweet corn in tomato sauce (420 g). Instead, you can use any canned red beans in combination with a small can of corn and a small package of mashed tomatoes.
- Add water, bay leaf, cumin to the beans and mix well. Let it cook until the water is reduced so we have a very thick mixture. Then add spices (salt, pepper, paprika) and remove the bay leaf.
- Rice
- Heat the oil to a medium heat (2 out of 3 for me). Add cumin, finely chopped onion and grated ginger (fiber-free), and mix well. Then we add rice (which we previously washed and drained well), and vegetables (I used frozen mixed vegetables). Stir well until the oil reaches each grain.
- Add boiling water to the rice and mix well. Peel half a lemon, cut off the bottom and place in the middle of the pan in which we cook the rice. Cover the dish and reduce the temperature to lower (1.5 out of 3 for me).
- When the rice is done (i.e. when it absorbs all the water), take out the lemon, salt the rice and stir it lightly, to separate the grains.
Serving
Serve the rice in a circle shape, with a hole in the middle, where we put the beans. Bread is not needed. :)
