INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe is originally based on one in Gabe Mirkin's book, and I
posted two previous versions of it. It is a very flexible recipe. I
visited my family in North Carolina over Christmas and, after finding
out that one of my 3 sisters is now eating vegan, I cooked dinner one
night. I was going to make Gabe's Tomato Eggplant casserole (really a
stew) and my adaptation of the Bajan Beans. But, the supermarket
didn't have all the ingredients, so I had to make substitutions.
Yellow bell pepper instead of red, butternut squash instead of
zucchini, and a combo of white and black beans instead of just one or
the other. Sister's friend couldn't handle spicy food, so I left out
the habanero (they only had jalapeno anyway -- and I nucked a chopped
on in some broth to pass with the dish); but since it would have been
better with habanero in it, the recipe below specifies it. It is
optional, though, the mild version of the dish was a very big hit
among the whole family.
Bring the onion, garlic, two bell peppers and habanero pepper and 1/2
cup of the bouillon to a boil in a large pot. Simmer 10 minutes or
until the vegetables are softened. Add the remaining bouillon,
tomatoes, squash and rice. Return to a boil and simmer covered for 45
minutes, until rice is tender. Stir in the beans, corn, and cilantro
and heat through, about 5 minutes.
6-8 servings, freezes well.
