Original Recipe Yield 3 cups
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 shallot, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the shallot, and cook until the shallot has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir until coated with the butter. Pour in the coconut milk and water; season with nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Stir in the black beans, and cook a few minutes until hot.

Even though this sounds exotic with the coconut milk, it's bland.
