What can I say, this is yet another super easy way to add a little pep to your rice recipe. I love having canned beans on hand in the pantry. They make for an easy meal that is rich in protein.
Red beans can be considered a Caribbean staple. It’s culinary value range from use in delicious soups to the relatively popular Caribbean side dish, Coconut Red Beans and Rice. You can find red beans at your local super market in the raw form as well.
Preparing the raw form of red beans involve a little time and effort because of the soaking and boiling process. I have a deep appreciation for this method of cooking. However, canned red beans are a go to if you want to enjoy a Caribbean meal with little to no effort. In addition, there is no major difference in taste between the two ways of preparing red beans.
