Mexican Inspired Bean Rice with Corn is a healthy one pot meal recipe that is prepared with rice, corn, semi-boiled red kidney beans, tomato, onion, bell peppers and a few spices. This recipe can be quickly prepared using canned beans & frozen corns. However we have used boiled kidney beans & fresh corns.
Kidney beans are available in different varieties and sizes. . It comes in a variety of colours and patterns, including white, cream, black, red, purple, spotted, striped, and mottled.
These beans are rich in nutrients. They are among the best sources of plant-based protein. They’re also rich in healthy fibres which moderate blood sugar levels and promote colon health. They are also a good source of several vitamins and minerals, such as molybdenum, folate, iron, copper, manganese, potassium, and vitamin K1. Kidney beans help in reducing cholesterol so are good for heart health. Due to the fibre content, kidney beans make the people feel full for longer time and avoid over-eating, thus help in weight management.
Corn is rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage and wards off diseases like cancer and heart disease. It is good for eye health and prevents the lens damage that leads to cataracts. Corn also has smaller amounts of vitamins B, E, and K, along with minerals like magnesium and potassium.
Method of boiling kidney beans -
Take 1 cup (200g) small red kidney beans, wash it and soak overnight. Transfer to a pressure cooker. Add 1 tea spoon salt, ½ tea spoon oil & 1¼ cup water (the beans should be well immersed in water). Give 1 whistle on high flame then cook for 8-10 minutes on low flame. After 8-10 minutes, turn off the flame. Let the pressure of cooker release on its own. Before making rice remove excess water from the beans using a strainer & refrigerate the boiled kidney beans for some time. Excess water of boiled kidney beans can be used in making curry or dal.
