Du Riz Cole (Rice and Beans)


What you need:

One half cup of vegetable oil
two tsp of "Haitian Spice"
One cup of Beans
One cube of Maggie
One tsp or less of salt (this is because Maggie has salt in it)
Two and one half Rice
Three cups of water

Instructions:

First you get your pan that you will be cooking with. Then put your pan over a medium fire, add your 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.
After that add the 3tsp of "Haitian spice" .
Now you are going to add as much beans as you want in your rice, but I specifically used 1cup.
Then add one cube of Maggie. Now mix all the ingredients you have in the pan.
Now add 1tsp or less of salt. Only because the Maggie already has salt in it.
Just let your ingredients fry for a little bit. After about 1-2 minutes add your 3 cups of water.
If you have some coconut cream you would like to add now would be a good time to add it.
Then wait till your water is boiling to add the rice, but before you add the rice taste the water to make sure there's enough salt. If there's enough salt add your 2 and 1/2 cup of rice.
After about 25-30 minutes your rice should be done! Mix your rice around mostly on the bottom because the Maggie sinks to the bottom. To make sure your rice is done you could take a little bit and taste it to make sure it is the texture that satisfies you. Finally your rice is done!


Tips that will help you:

1. If your water overlaps your rice there is to much water!
2. Some people like to add a hot pepper to give it a little spice!
3. Putting a plastic bag while cooking the rice will help it cook faster!
4. Have fun cooking and enjoy this recipe!!!!!!
