Start with two cups of water and one of rice (basmati's best). Put it in a pan with a little salt and add kidney beans .Tinned ones (1 tin, very well drained) are fine, but if you wan to use fresh you need to soak them for 24 hours, changing the water regularly. Bring it to the boil take off the gas and add a chunk of creamed coconut, about a large teaspoons worth. Turn the gas down as low as you can, put the lid on, leave for about ten minutes. Check to see if the waters gone, (take the lid off and tilt the pan) if not leave it for a few more minutes.
Once al the waters gone fluff with a fork and serve!
This is enough for about two or three people, change the measurements depending on how many you're serving, but keep the ratios. It's also good with brown rice but takes longer.

Answer 4

the situation with doing this with an oven is loss of moisture. The rice might have a tendency to dry out the longer it is in the oven. What you may do is poach the calzone, meaning putting it in aluminum foil with some water. The water boils and keeps the calzone from drying out. this may well be an particularly trouble-free thank you to poach fish, with butter particularly than water, on a grill properly suited... I try this with salmon frequently. You easily make a bag out of aluminum foil it particularly is loosely sealed and is better off the food on properly suited and aspects. positioned the aluminum bag onto a cookie sheet or different baking pan to grant help over that presented by utilising an oven shelf. upload some herbs and garlic and different seasonings to the bag to augment usual flavor.
