Red Beans and Rice # 39

A new take on red beans and rice, very simple, easy and delicious. Lately I've eaten several bowls at different times and still am not tired of it.

Red Beans and Rice # 39

Cooked brown rice
Cooked red or kidney beans
1/2 lime
Green Tabasco

First, cook the brown basmati rice. I've stopped using my old rice cooker, as it always ends up with rice stuck to the bottom. Too much heat in one place. I like to add a little olive oil, salt, and 5 or 6 whole cardamom pods, which makes deliciously fragrant brown basmati rice.

Fill a bowl 3/4 with rice, and add about a cup of cooked red or kidney beans. Squeeze half a lime over bowl, shake on several drops Green Tabasco, and heat in microwave.
