Vegetarian Rice Toppings with Squash, Beans, Tomato, Cabbage, and Potato have become a beloved option for individuals seeking a healthy and fulfilling lunch or dinner, even during busy days. This dish has gained popularity due to its delightful fusion of flavors and textures. The tender squash, protein-rich beans, juicy tomatoes, crisp cabbage, and hearty potatoes blend harmoniously to please the taste buds. With its straightforward preparation and abundance of nutritious ingredients, this dish offers a convenient solution for a quick and nourishing meal. Whether enjoyed as a standalone dish or accompanied by rice, it ensures a satisfying and wholesome dining experience.(This is also considered a shrimp-paste-free and meatless dish. Perfect remedy for those who have meat or seafood dishes.)

Note: this is what happens when there’s not many “rice” eaters in the fam. Most of the beans and sausage is eaten and mostly bean juice and rice is left over. That’s when the juice and rice is mixed together for another dish. #GlobalApron 2024

I love Cajun food and this is using what I have in house and the garden. It’s a cross between red beans and rice and jambalaya. This is in no way your normal technique but it is absolutely delicious and easy.

This is sort of a mish mash of red beans and rice and dirty rice. Or like a cheap and quick jambalaya for weeknights.

In the New Orleans area, Red Beans and Rice is a tradition on Mondays. In times past, leftover meats from Sunday became part of the recipe for Red Beans and Rice. Since there are no leftovers in my house, I have come to rely on Andouille sausage and ham chunks for the meat ingredients. I take short cuts because traditional southern recipes can be an all day long affair for which I do not have time.

This is a family recipe that’s been around for a while. I think it originated with my great uncle in Louisiana sometime around the 1950s.

I tried to recreate a Greek restaurant lemon, chicken rice dish I've been craving since pregnant. I actually did not have any Greek seasoning, so I tried garlic salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, black pepper & parsley. It was close enough and tasted great overall!

A certain amount of fat has to be in our diets daily. Transfat is not good but it's only produced when vegetable oils hardens it's called hydrogenation. Hydrogenated fats, or "trans fats," are often used to keep some foods fresh for a long time.Trans fats are also used for cooking in some restaurants. They can raise LDL cholesterol levels in your blood. They can also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol levels.Animal fats like drippings and lard doesn't this. They help absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. The fats your body gets from your food give your body essential fatty acids called linoleic and linolenic acid. They are called "essential" because your body cannot make them itself, or work without them. Your body needs them for brain development, controlling inflammation, and blood clotting. This information came from the U.S. National Library of Medicine.This is why I try and use vegetable oil as little as possible. The only oils I like to really use is olive, coconut, peanut and lard. The price and affordability is the only reason I use vegetable oil. I absolutely will not use canola oil as it does indeed cause heart lesions over a period of years of use.

A dear friend of mine shared her grandma's recipe, Tatianas grandma's pink beans long ago and I posted it here. Well I fell in love with pink beans so this is for Tatiana and her grandma. Thank you for sharing so much in my life!!!

Been experimenting around trying to reduce the slimy part of okra. So I add no liquids to this and let the instant rice absorb the wetness of the dish. It works.

A hearty soup with rice served over tortilla chips. Its simple seasoning makes it a warm dish that kids will love.The origin of this recipeI was inspired by a recipe from a children's magazine called Jack & Jill, which my 8-year-old son receives. I was drawn to the combination of soup with rice and chips, so I made some adjustments to the ingredients and method to suit my taste. My family enjoyed it together.

This is Gallo Pinto, a staple dish for people who get over 100 years old in Costa Rica. I am following their diet when I can. The Gallo Pinto Rice and Beans is simple, tasty and quick with precooked beans and rice, ten minutes.

This is an easier version of a Southern classic that doesn't require soaking or sorting beans.

This was an accidental recipe that I have made now several times and each time I find it amazing! I prefer my red beans spicy and use more Cajun spice than some care for. Season it according to taste and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Traditional red beans and rice. Classic Cajun dish traditionally served on Mondays... Which was because ladies let the beans simmer all day while doing laundry.THIS WILL TAKE ALL DAY, but it’s worth it! You can do some prep that will save you some time. It takes about 5hrs to COOK but the prep (chopping and bean soak) takes about an hour.Start 10am if you’ve done zero prep.Start at noon if you’ve prepped the beans and chopped the veggies and andouille sausage.This freezes really well, so it’s a great dish to make a double-batch and freeze in smaller containers for several later meals.

These Pinto Beans with Rice and Chorizo can be prepared in just over 20 minutes (the time it takes to cook the rice). Ideal for days when we need to stay at home, as it is very healthy and boosts our immune system. Plus, we can use a can of cooked beans, which we probably all have at home!▶️ WATCH THE RECIPE VIDEO HERE 👉 https://bit.ly/2J2D6F7

This may be the most awesome dish I've ever made: it's spicy, sweet and tangy. There are quite a few steps and ingredients but it is well worth it. The saffron-berry rice compliments the vegetable sauce perfectly

Red Beans and rice is a Cajun dish that used to be cooked on wash day. It's a meal you put on and slow cook for hours that way you can take care of the laundry! These days it is still a major part of Cajun cuisine. When money is tight I cook this using just 2 lbs of Manda sausage instead of using andoullie & Sausage. It's a good bargain but still flavorful sausage. The family can eat this for a few days served differently.You can easily half this recipe to cook only one pound of beans. I have a large family and what's left over I will use to make chilli.

My hubby likes dirty rice... but he likes tomato in it ..... very quick skillet meal. basically ground beef, onion, & rice!!!!

I eat these regularly, they're quick and easy to make and can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days or frozen for a month. Variations are endless it all depends on what's in the fridge ;)

A colorful tasty dinner and ready in a flash! This one qualifies as my I'm not cooking tonight meals since it's so quick to pull together!

Mo gots some good beans

I had some beef tendons, and wanted some way other than soup to eat them. So I did a rice stir-fry thing with part of them. Turned out good, and it wasn't soup. A tender rice is better for this textually I think.

This dish is hearty and full of flavor. It uses brown rice, so it takes a bit longer to cook, but it's hands off for the most part. If you'd like to use long grain white rice or quinoa instead, be sure to adjust the cooking time. Recipe adapted from : Showmetheyummy.com

This is my husband's creation, he's made it for years. Now that I do all the cooking, I make it. I realize it's not an original recipe, only a twist on something pre-made, but it is still delicious either way! *For a non-spicy version use the Kielbasa and no Cajun seasoning, for a little bit of spice use the Andoullie. Also tastes great with chicken.
