💬 Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan rice and bean recipe.

▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)

200g / 1 cup White Basmati Rice
3 Tablespoon Cooking Oil (I have added Olive oil)
135g / 1 cup Onion – chopped
200g / 1 +1/2 cup Green Bell Pepper – chopped
1+1/2 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped – 4 to 5 Garlic cloves
1/2 Tablespoon Ginger – finely chopped – 1/2 inch Ginger
65g / 1 cup Green Onions – chopped (including the white part) – 8 to 9 Green onions
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Salt to taste (I have added total 1/4 +1 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1+1/2 cup Vegetable Broth (Low Sodium)
2 cups / 1 can (540ml can) COOKED White Beans (Cannellini or Navy Beans) – Drained and Rinsed well with water
1/2 to 3/4 cup / 20 to 30g Cilantro / Coriander leaves OR TO TASTE
1 to 1+1/2 tablespoons of Lime or Lemon juice OR TO TASTE (I have added 1+1/2 tablespoons of lime juice. I like it a bit sour but you do you)
Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 Teaspoon)
Drizzle of Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil – OPTIONAL (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)

▶️ METHOD:

👉 COOK THIS DISH IN A WIDER PAN, this will prevent the rice from getting soggy.

THOROUGHLY WASH THE RICE until the water runs clear, to get rid of any impurities/gunk (it’s an important step so do not skip it) and then soak for 20 minutes.

To a heated pan, add cooking oil, onion, green bell pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Fry on medium to medium-high heat (depending on the heat of your stove) until it’s lightly browned. It will take about 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the green onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, ground cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper and mix well. Fry on medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes to cook out the raw flavour of the ingredients added and fry until fragrant.

Now add the rice, salt and vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until the rice is cooked (DO NOT LET THE RICE GET MUSHY). While the rice is cooking, drain and thoroughly rinse the cooked white beans with water and let it sit in a strainer for any excess water to drain. WE DO NOT WANT SOGGY BEANS for this recipe.

After 10 minutes of the rice cooking, uncover the pan. Let it cook UNCOVERED on low heat for another 1 minute. THIS WILL GET RID OF ANY EXCESS MOISTURE AND PREVENT THE RICE FROM GETTING SOGGY.

Turn off the heat. Add the cooked bean, cilantro, lime juice, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil to the hot rice and mix. Mix very carefully and gently to prevent the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX THE RICE because the rice grains are very soft and can turn into mush. Serve hot with your favourite side and a green salad.

▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:

👉 Thoroughly wash the rice until the water runs clear to get rid of any impurities/gunk (it’s an important step so do not skip it) and then soak for 20 minutes

👉 Do not soak the rice for more than 20 minutes

👉 This recipe is for white basmati rice, if you are using a different kind of rice adjust the quantity of vegetable broth accordingly

👉 Adding salt to onions/bell peppers will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster, so please don’t skip it

👉 Thoroughly rinse the white beans with water and let is sit in a strainer for any excess water to drain. WE DO NOT WANT SOGGY BEANS for this recipe

👉 After adding the cooked Beans/Lime Juice/Cilantro/Black pepper/Olive oil to the cooked rice – mix the rice very carefully and gently to prevent the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX IT at this time because the rice grains are very soft and can turn into mush

👉 Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, then reduce the heat

👉 Cook this dish in a wider pan, this will prevent the rice from getting soggy

  8. I'm trying this tonight, i'm sure it'll taste great. All of your receipts I tried so far have been keepers and are a permanent addition to my repertoire.

    Just an idea, but why not publish a cookbook with your wonderful receipts, I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

  9. I sautee without oil – you've just added oil worth about 750 cals to your pan, + another 250 at the end, these are empty calories and no nutrients. I use Knorr veggie stock cube which I dissolve in water or crumble on my meal at the very end, so no need to buy cartons. Re: beans juice, why throw it away? It is full of flavour, no point in discarding it (even if it contains a little salt) and then adding salt separately, I would just keep it. It would be helpful to see some oil-free recipes from you, you may be slim but a lot of people would put on weight with all that oil and you really can get used to the grease-free flavour very easily, why not try it? Most people need to watch their weight and their health, it is a myth that (olive) oil is healthy, it's just marketing.

  10. Mam saw this video now and liked it very much.here in south India we call this mix vegetable pulao. This can also be done with vermicelli or broken wheat/rice.and any vegetables of your choice can be added.secondly instead of adding so many spice powders you can directly add garam masala powder try it once and see the difference thanks god bless you and your family

  29. I have watched, followed and subscribed to many vegan /plant based YouTubers. I became one from watching them most of the time during the pandemic. (Became plant based based at the beginning of 2020). I have enjoyed everything I learned from them, but you are just on another level. I said it last week, all your recipes are what vegans /plant based people have in their fridge, freezer and pantry. I never watch your videos and think 🤔 "I need to go to the supermarket to buy this and that." Never. You really amaze me.
    Dinners are such a breeze now. You, young lady are awesome. What would I do without your recipes? Please, please keep them coming. We love them and they are very tasty. Delicious 😋. Thanks again. All the way from the UK.
    (By the way, I have stopped watching, following and unsubscribed from all other plant based YouTube channels. I have found what works, simple and enjoyable on your channel). You are the best 😊

  44. I have tried sooo many of your recipes, and I have loved every one of them❤ I love the format of your videos… the demo with the soothing music is very aesthetic and simple to follow, AND… the thing that I totally love is that you include the printed version of the ingredients and the recipe steps in the description below. This is excellent since I am a person who prefers to read a recipe after I have watched the video. I also love that you use readily available ingredients, and not a lot of dishes since I don’t have a dishwasher. Everything about your recipes and your videos is TOP SHELF!! Thank-you for all your excellent content. Greetings to you from the other side of the country. Ⓜary🇨🇦🌿
