    1 tb Olive oil -OR-
    1/4 c Water
    1 sm Red onion; minced
    1 Red bell pepper;
    - seeded, chopped
    1 sm Fresh hot chile; up to 2,
    - seeded, minced
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 ts Fresh ginger; grated
    1 c Basmati rice
    1/2 ts Natural sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Ground allspice
    1/4 ts Dried thyme
    1/4 ts Nutmeg; freshly grated
    2 c Water; hot
    1 1/2 c Cooked dark red kidney or

    If you have a jerk spice blend on hand, you can substitute it for the
    spices in this recipe. For a colorful taste of the tropics, garnish
    with the optional mango.

    Heat the olive oil or water in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the
    onion, bell pepper, chiles, garlic, and ginger. Cover and cook,
    stirring until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the
    rice to coat with the oil. Add the sugar, salt, allspice, thyme, and
    nutmeg, stirring to combine. Stir in the water, reduce the heat to
    medium-low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender, 30 to
    40 minutes.

    Stir in the beans and cook until hot, about 5 minutes. Taste and
    adjust the seasonings, if needed. Serve hot, sprinkled with cilantro
    and mango, if using.
