Directions
- Now here's*my* favorite red beans and rice dish - not Southern but Caribbean. It's another one from The San Antonio Herb Society Cookbook.
- (Fran Rich)
- Do not be tempted to skip the bananas - they give this recipe a real Caribbean flavor! Pass the salsa for those who want a little more kick.
- Saute/fry onion and garlic in 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil till softened; add in to beans along with broth, cumin, curry, oregano, jalapeno, rice, cilantro and tomatoes. Cover and cook over medium-low heat till rice is barely tender, about 15 min. Add in peas, cover, and set aside. Brown sausage slices in a skillet, adding a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil if necessary. Remove from pan and place on rice. Slice bananas; saute/fry in butter till lightly browned. Serve rice and beans surrounded by browned sausage and bananas.
- Serves 6.
