I know, I can hear it now… “What is this ‘More habits’ dish?”  Basically, it is red beans and rice. A Caribbean style red beans and rice – in the style from the Dominican Republic (or so I read). This dish was an experiment in trying to scale the dish down to cooking for one, while still keeping the flavor and texture that makes this dish the staple it is.  Overall, my effort tasted fine (maybe it needed a bit more salt for the amount I made) and the texture was close (the rice was slightly overcooked). Since it was an experiment and we all know I eat my experiments, I added 8 oz of linguiça – a sausage popular in Portuguese speaking countries – so I could eat this as a standalone dish. Oh… and of course, my ratios were off, so I’ll be eating ‘more habits’ later this week. I hope you all enjoy the pictures. It is a pretty side dish that does it’s job very well. Now to think up some clever and tasty ways to use the leftovers…
