Jamaican Bean Rice

By January 10, 2014

Jamaican bean and rice or Jamaican bean rice is very famous. I had this when we went on cruise to Mexico, we had a particular island that had authentic African food and since I was pure vegetarian I had very limited choice, but I loved it a lot. It had that coconut milk taste in it and it was very tasty. I didn't really know what ingredients where in them so I browsed few African recipes and had a chance to make it. Linking this to Blogging Marathon # 36 conducted by Srivalli( if you haven't checked her marathon detail you should.. it's really interesting)I am doing International Recipe for 3 days for 2nd week of jan and kids for week 3. Well its a flavorful dish do try it out.
