It's been cold around here lately and that means one thing - comfort food. Since I don't eat junk anymore I have to reinvent recipes. My latest is Red Beans and Rice - the southern classic. The junk I needed to cut out are bacon and sausage. So here is what I did instead.
Rice and Four Beans
1 Medium Red Onion
1 Bell Pepper
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Tbsp Chili Powder - mine is a little hotter than most. If your sauce is too mild add cayenne
1 Tsp Cumin
30 oz Diced Organic Tomatoes
1 can Organic Black beans
1 cup Truroots Sprouted Bean Trio cooked per instructions
1 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tbsp Basil
Worcestershire Sauce to taste - optional
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Steamed Organic Brown Rice - I use the Short grain organic brown rice from Costco.
Saute Onions and pepper in Olive oil for 3 minutes on high and then add garlic for one minute. Add Tomatoes and spices and cook for 5 minutes. Add beans and herbs and season to taste. Use Louisiana hot sauce for final heat adjustment. It should be spicy. Serve over steamed brown rice and warm up!
More soon....
