I'm sorry for the weird colors in the photo. I took this photo using a new camera app that I'm playing around with...
I cook my beans from scratch (I buy them dry in bulk) in my slow cooker. I don't add anything to them during cooking, because in our family we have some who don't like pork, some who don't like spice, and some with sensitive stomachs. So I make them bland/plain and then we add the toppings ourselves to our own liking. Some beans need soaking and some do not. There's a really great book called Fresh from the Vegeterian Slow COoker that tells all about the different varieties of beans and how to cook them in your slow cooker. I have really found using the slow cooker to be the easiest way to cook beans.

The rice in the above photo is Jasmine rice. My hubby is Thai so fragrant white rice is pretty much a daily staple in our home - we have it every day. We have a Zojirushi rice cooker and it makes awesome rice. It's a very handy appliance, at least when you cook as much rice as we do. (It also makes brown rice, which I personally prefer...)
So... in the above bowl of beans and rice... I topped it with mashed avocados (guacamole), a bit of sour cream, sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, a bit of rooster sauce (sriracha hot sauce), and some Yumm! sauce which is a very "Oregon" thing... Café Yumm! | Our Story
You can also pour your favorite soup or chili over the rice and beans, or serve the rice and beans over greens like a salad topper... you can wrap them up in lettuce leaves or tortillas... do some shredded cheese with them... my youngest son (a bit of a weirdo sometimes ) likes his with a bit of BBQ sauce. Our oldest likes his with salsa and shredded cheese.
You can season either the rice or beans with whatever spices or flavors you like... garam masala, curry, saffon, chinese 5 spice, whatever...
I LOVE coconut rice, but it doesn't really go good with beans unless you do small red bean like anasazi with a little sugar... which is more a dessert than a healthy meal.
^^^ Looks awesome!!!
I love coconut rice (like in "Nasi Lemak" back at home)... as well also the dessert mango / coconut rice pudding using palm sugar...
BTW is the "anasazi" bean the same as "azuki" bean (little red bean) Asian loves using in dessert dish???
I do my rice & bean dish in the usual way of the "chili" served w/ rice dish (not the one pot meal).
DH tired of "Asian"... so am left to enjoy my abalone chicken congee (porridge) by myself for lunch...
He wants Italian tonight... so its pasta w/ pesto, a side of steamed broccoli, pickled olives & maybe topped w/ some bacon bits (don't really want bulk meat tonight; won't be "defrosted" enough)....

Very satisfying dinner.
Nice dinner.
I have the "white" regular seasalt & the "pink" Himalayan seasalt for on the table at all times... my pepper shaker also contain a regular black & another of mixed (white, black, green & red) peppercorn plus another for Asian cooking (Sarawak white pepper, z best in SEAsia)...
turkey pot pie with veggies and green salad. I had the turkey in the freezer and wanted to use it before it became about 5 years old. (only kidding) it is from Thanksgiving.
