Cane & Barrel Rice Bowl Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add yellow rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed.

2. 2

   Prepare the Beans

   In a small pot, heat black beans over low heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Grill the Vegetables

   Slice the bell peppers and onions. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Toss vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

4. 4

   Cook the Plantains

   Peel the sweet plantains and cut them into diagonal slices. In a frying pan, heat a little oil over medium heat and fry the plantains until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Cook Protein (Optional)

   Choose your protein: For pork belly, grill until crispy. For chicken, grill until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). For steak tips, grill to desired doneness.

6. 6

   Assemble the Bowl

   In a bowl, layer yellow rice, black beans, grilled peppers, grilled onions, and fried plantains. Top with your choice of protein.
