x/p to DePepperMan & CHILE-PEPPER-RECIPES This was tonight's dinner (we ate early). I changed it and added some sausage, a tsp of Inner Beauty Sauce, and I used my Ring of Fire chiles instead of the scotch bonnet. Otherwise it is the same. It was delicious. * Exported from MasterCook * Reggae Rice Recipe By : Adapted by RisaG from Hot & Spicy & Caribbean Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Chile-Heads Chiles Main Dish Rice Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1/2 cup onion -- chopped 2 cloves garlic -- minced 1/2 cup carrot -- grated 1/4 cup bell pepper -- chopped 1 scotch bonnet chile -- seed, stem & chop* 2 cups rice -- I used basmati 4 cups boiling water 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper Risa's addition: 2 links smoked sausage -- casings removed Preheat large, heavy skillet (cast iron pref.).
