Happy Monday, my foodie friends!
The best thing about rice and beans is that there are so many ways to prepare the dish. So many different ingredients to add, and always the final product is delicious! Today, I want to show you one way of making rice and beans, and perhaps give you some new ideas regarding the dish. Adding roasted peanuts for a little crunch and curry ketchup for a funky twist, and oh my goodness, you'll fall in love!
Rice and Beans - the Jasmin way
(just because it’s cool to include my name in the recipe)
Ingredients:
3 dl rice (dry)
1 can kidney beans
peanuts (as much as you wish)
10-12 cubes frozen spinach
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tsp cajun seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
curry ketchup
Method:
Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Roast the peanuts on a dry frying pan. Once they’re ready, put them aside and melt the frozen spinach on the pan. Drain and rinse the kidney beans. Mix everything together, season and enjoy! 😋
Adding the curry ketchup actually wasn’t my intention in the first place, but once I had a plateful of rice and beans in front of me, I was thinking that the taste is a bit bland. So, I went to search for something I could add to give a bit more taste, and curry ketchup was what I found. Luckily I did, it goes super well with this dish!
No worries, I added more ketchup after taking this photo, first I just had to taste if it works!
In the spirit of sharing the food love, check out this Gallo Pinto Rice and Beans recipe from @puravidaville, doesn’t it look delicious? She even provides you with step-by-step instructions with photos, so her recipes are super easy to follow!

Looks lovely and delicious. the Jasmin way :) I like it.
Thank you @steven-patrick, you're always so kind! :)
Found your post compliments of @food-smg. That dish looks SUPER delish! I am not vegetarian or vegan, but am a big time foodie and I love to cook, so its always nice to find other food inspired blogs :)
Thanks so much @jaynie! It's always nice to find new delicious recipes, right? I'm super glad you liked this! :)
Hi @jasmink) Good and simple recipe) Can I use other nuts besides peanuts?
Thanks @dponbl4! I'm sure that if you use any nuts you want, it'll be delicious! :)
Yummy this looks so nice and i love that yout put you name the jasmine way:D where fid you find curry ketchup?The only place i found some was in Belgium when i used to live there.
Thanks @drawmeaship! :) I'm not sure if curry ketchup is available all around the world, but I'd check large, well equipped supermarkets. You can also make your own curry ketchup from regular ketchup. There a plenty of recipes online, but they can be a bit complex. I'd just mix regular ketchup with curry powder, paprika and a pinch of sugar (if your ketchup is unsweetened), until it tastes nice! :)
Bring on the peanuts!! I love that addition! You just reminded me it is about time to make my peanut chili again, too. Another great entry Jasmin!
It's like a whole new dish with peanuts, I really like it. Have you posted a recipe for that peanut chili? If you have I've totally missed it, but it already sounds delicious, and I need the recipe!
Thank you for the lovely comment! :)
Peanuts add such a great texture and flavor. It was quite a while ago that I posted the recipe, so no surprise that you may have missed it. :) I think it is definitely time to break it out again--https://steemit.com/fruitsandveggiesmonday/@plantstoplanks/fruits-and-veggies-monday-not-quite-spring-yet-so-vegan-chili-it-is
That's amazing, and I already have almost all the ingredients for it. As soon as my fridge gets a little emptier from everything I've cooked and baked, I have to try your chili. I had to bookmark the recipe so that I won't lose it! Thanks for sharing the recipe! 😋
I hope you enjoy it! I almost forgot about it, so I'm glad for the reminder because I definitely want to make it again, too! :)
Awesome! The recipe definitely sounds better with your name in it. I like the siracha touch too. Anything spicy and I’m all over it. Your beans and rice recipe is quite a looker too. Must be those pretty purple kidney beans mixed with the deep green spinach 😋yum!
Thank you for the shoutout @jasmink. You are truly a gem and your recipes are always delightful. Saving this one for later because you can never have too many ways to prepare rice and beans 😉. You rock!!!
I felt so special when I added my name in it, haha! Sriracha is something I love to use, it adds a nice little kick to almost any dish! I couldn't agree more with you, you can never have too many ways to prepare rice and beans! 😋
Thank you so much for all the lovely words @puravidaville! Such compliments from you mean the world to me! :)
You are one of the nicest people I know on here, @jasmink. My compliments to you fail in comparison. But at least we can agree on siracha being the star of any show. Haha… I used to put that stuff on EVERYTHING… it was kind of ridiculous. 🤦🏼♀️
Then we were doing ridiculous things together, since at one point I was obsessed with sriracha as well, haha!
You're so sweet, @puravidaville, I think the same way about you, you definitely are one of the nicest people here! :)
☺️
This looks so good!
Thank you, @proanima! :)

Thanks @moyse!
I love it!!! Delicious rice with your name on it Jasmin. I can see this on the menu of your little vegan restaurant. Who knows, maybe someday! Well done my Dear 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇
Haha, I could never see myself running a restaurant. However, some people participating on Fruits and Veggies could, there are so many talented foodies among us! 😊
Thanks Lena!
uhmm.. we're always add some fried peanuts on our fried rice @jasmink, because we have not canned bean anytime of the years, never tried using the spinach (well... because my FIL doesn't really like spinach) but we're doing good with water spinach. this is so simple and creative too. fried rice is my favourite, now I know what to prepare if a vegan come to my house :D.. thanks and good luck with the competition.
Thanks for such a lovely comment, @cicisaja! 😊 Fried peanuts with rice are super tasty, right? Perfect quick and easy dish to prepare!
yes @jasmink.. it's really tasty, that's why many dishes in my country use peanuts ,roasted, fried, fresh even with its skin in the "sayur asam sunda" or sundanese veggies sour stew. quick, easy and tasty.. what a perfect combination of food we need to have everyday
Quick, easy and tasty, my favorite words! There really isn't more you could ask for! 😉
