Red Beans with Coconut
1 package unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp curry
1 tsp red pepper
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
In a large skillet over high heat, saute onion and garlic until tender. Add red beans, spices, and stir in coconut and milk a little at a time. Cover and let steam for about 5 minutes or until the coconut begins to lightly brown. Remove from heat and serve.
I am trying a new dish that I tasted in a Back Yard Bible Club pot-luck several weeks ago. I loved the taste and texture of Red Beans with Coconut! It looks like Red Beans and Rice, but has such a lighter texture because it is Coconut!
