Instructions
White Rice (Diri Blan)
Rinse rice under cold water, removing any particles until the water turn from cloudy to clear. Drain the rice well and set aside. Wash the scallions and scotch bonnet and pat dry. Set aside the scotch bonnet, cut off the tips and root of the scallions. Leave the scallion as is or chop in half to fit your pot.
In a hot medium-sized pot add a tablespoon of olive oil, add the scallions to the pot to fry in the oil for about a minute. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil.
Add the rice to boiling water, add the scotch bonnet and let simmer until most of the water has evaporated.
Reduce the heat and place lid on the pot for 15 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes then serve.
Black Bean Sauce (Sos Pwa Noir)
Dice the shallot and onion and mince the garlic. Drain the black beans and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and shallot until golden.
Add the beans, half of a bouillon cube, salt, no salt seasoning to the pot, and mix thoroughly for about 3 minutes.
Add a cup of water to the pot, if you want more sauce add enough water to cover the beans and stir all the ingredients. Add the scotch bonnet and let cook for 15- 20minutes.
Fried Plantain (Banan Peze)
Score the seams of the plantain with the tip of the knife and peel the plantain, cut into 1 inch diagonal slices.
Add the oil to a small fry pan on medium-high heat and fry the plantains for about two minutes on each side
Remove the plantains from the oil and flatten with a plantain press or two plates. (Placing the plantain on the first plate and using the bottom of the second plate to flatten the plantain as best as possible.)
Re-fry the flatten plantains in the oil till golden brown. Let sit on a paper towel-lined plate and lightly sprinkle salt.
