Creole Rice and Beans
A delicious twist on a classic Creole Red Beans and Rice recipe.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4-6
Kitchen Tools
- medium pan
- knives
- mixing spoons
Ingredients
- Meal starter pouch
- 1 (15-oz) can red beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (28-oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 1/2 cups cold water
Directions
- In a medium pan, add pouch contents, red beans, crushed tomatoes, celery, and water. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. (The original package says 20-25 minutes, but 30 minutes works better, and this change will be made in our next packaging run.)
Loved the flavors in this dish. I served it over riced cauliflower , which stretched it into more serving without alot of calories.
We liked this original recipe, with varying tolerances for the spice level. I did add 2 tsp maple syrup & a tbsp of unflavored, unsweetened plant milk to balance it for us. Also we served it on top of torn greens, & topped with dried chives, sunflower seeds & pumpkin seeds. Will definitely purchase again.
