Brown beans with rice is one of those everyday Surinamese classics that looks simple but delivers a lot of comfort. The beans stew with chicken, aromatics and herbs until the sauce is rich, while plain rice keeps everything grounded and satisfying.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 50 min

Ingredients

Chicken legs or thighs – 600 g
Cooked brown beans – 800 g
Onion – 1
Garlic – 3 cloves
Tomato – 2
Tomato puree – 1 tbsp
Long beans – 250 g
Celery leaves – 1 handful
Allspice – 1 tsp
White rice – 300 g
Stock or water – 250 ml
Black pepper – to taste

Method

Brown the chicken pieces first so they build flavour in the pan. Add onion, garlic, tomato and tomato puree and cook until soft and fragrant. Stir in the beans, stock, celery leaves and allspice and let everything simmer until the chicken is tender and the sauce has body. Cook the long beans separately or in the stew until just tender. Meanwhile boil the rice and serve the beans generously over or beside it.
