Following my previous speech on my “Rice with peas” post, I present you with another recipe that I made to please the boyfriend: rice with beans and bacon.
There’s so many ways to add flavour to rice. If you go through your cupboard, I’m sure you will find something that will go well with rice. You can use any type of beans, you can use bacon, ham, tuna, cheese, corn, tomato… and the list goes on. Such a versatile grain to be used in so many ways…
