This is a traditional Bahamian side dish. Corn can be substituted with black-eyed peas or lima beans. Ingredients:
1 slice bacon, chopped |
1/2 onion, chopped |
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/2 cup tomato sauce |
1 teaspoon browning sauce |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 pinch red pepper flakes |
2 (14 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained |
3 1/2 cups water |
2 cups white rice |
Directions:
1. Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until the grease begins to render. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and thyme; cook until the onion is nearly translucent. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the tomato sauce, browning sauce, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; stir; simmer another 3 minutes. Add the corn; simmer another 3 minutes. Slowly pour the water into the mixture while stirring. Raise the heat to high and stir in the rice; bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the rice has absorbed all the moisture, about 30 minutes; fluff with a fork to serve.
